I actually drew the eye stuff. Does it look realistic?

way too much saturation.

Exactly how do I know when there's too much? I know I went sort of over the edge here, but is it *only* a matter of taste or are there some rules to follow?

Not really, you have to look at it and try to feel when you have the right amount. You could also try a high saturation on the squirrel and the twig in the foreground by using layer masks, while leaving the rest of the picture intact.

You could also try using levels to get rid of that pesky grey overlay

"That pesky grey overlay", also known as the sky in Norway on a cloudy day.

But yeah, thanks, that made it look a lot fresher :)

We have the same thing here in Sweden. The image looks "fresher" because you change the color scale so that the darkest and lightest points in your picture are as dark and as light as they can be

Oh, and same thing goes for layers as for saturation, you can change it for parts of the image using layer masks if you want to preserve the greyness of the sky.

levels that is

Whats the difference between that and contrast?

When you adjust the contrast that modifies all of the values as a whole, when you use levels you modify the highlights, midtones and shadows independantly.

Contrast increases or decreases the gap between light and dark

You can tell by the "paws" that it's just a guy in a squirrel costume.

So what do you guys think of my eye job? (pic not related, that's a real squirrel eye)
>> Anonymous

Holy shit, at first I read this:
>So what do you guys think of my blowjob?

Ahem. Anyways, b2t: The reflection should be brighter / more intense, it seems too dull. You could even add some slight cloud pattern into the reflection. Try to make it bright at the top and darker at the lower part.

Something like this? It still doesn't look at all right.. There shouldn't be sharp reflections on a dull day?

(yeah i know, lern2levels, this is just about the eyes..)

Yeah, but do these things first:

1. Take out the color noise, this ruins a picture, but I think the camera is at fault. Also, if you do that, further corrections may be easier.
2. Levels
3. Color correction on the branches in the background (these are quite off) and the ones in the foreground (pink lines at the edges)

Then do the eyes thing. This should make it look better. And for the eyes: There can indeed be sharp reflections on a dull day, I was talking about the upper edge of it. For example, take a shiny bowl and place it outside, then lay your hand on it. The hand represents the eyelid. I think you should understand now what I mean =)
