The colours are richer but I'd crop in even closer and make the most of those shiny eyes.

Did you apply all the steps from that tutorial?

I don't know if you missed anything. I suspect Amy-Rose may have dialled back the potency of some of the effects a bit - the example on her page looks less heavily processed on yours. What program are you using to make the changes?

That works much better... although the cost of shiny eyes is that you cn see the crumbs on his lips (which don't make sense without the context of the wider shot to show he is eating something).

See the first paragraph of the first post for the link, although a more permanent version would be better, in case Amy-Rose updates the site any time.
