I made lots of changes... Levels layers, Curves layers, Color balance, Photo Filters, and quite a few small 1 - 3 px brushes to try and bring out the highlights in the eyes, and make him look like he has less of a lazy/drugged up eye... It was half closed, so I had to alter the whole right eye.

i mean to colour it and yet keep it looking natural :o

 

 

 

i take it u cut it out or something and done colour balance or hue/saturation?

Mini Essay

 

A photo manip usually involves taking a real picture and making one thing stand out. In my case, the flower. It can be either just the colours with everything else less saturated (more of a black and white) or over-contrasting/saturating the object you wish to focus on.

 

Some good photo manipulators like to have a large image and make one small thing (that is generally a different colour) stand out. Pretty much just circling the point of interest and blacking everything else out.

 

I, myself, prefer to work with small images. That way I get less side-tracked and its also easier to roughly crop a small image (i.e. the flower). Although I could use the zoom tool, it sometimes blur things a little too much. ;)

 

 

 

If you got that then, good. If not, I could write a quick-simple tutorial. ;P

Added new manip. ;/

 

Less impressive though
