Trying photoshop cs3 editing eyes 1st time..

[photomom2008]

I folowed some of the tutorials on here to edit the eyes in this picture. It is not perfect but I was wondering if I had the right idea? Any suggestions would be helpful. This is my first try at photoshop cs3.

For starters Im gonna tell you that your whitebalance is off. Its a bit too warm.

As for editing eyes: it find its good to lighten them a bit using the dodge tool, then darken the iris/coloured sections again with burn. Dont do it excessively, though: it'll look really fake.

I'd also be tempted, in this case, to up the exposure a bit.

Thank you, I think used the dodge tool on the iris and the burn tool on the pupil/edges. I must have read the tutorial wrong. I will try that. I have not figured out how to adjust the white balance with cs3 yet. I am going to have to check that out. Thanks for the help! I appreciate it.
