k so here's the photo i'm working with:
what i really want to do is somehow add a small hint of a teardrop in the corner of the eye
not like an actual tear, but just water welling up
and i've been studying pictures of eyes and tears and stuff and i can't create anything that looks quite right
anyone have any suggestions?
edit: back to the original tearless picture

the trick is to get a good shape of the tear, and then creating a realistic reflection. In this case you have to blur the teardrop a little bit because the focus is set to the eyebrow in this photo.
I'll try to do it, but I can't guarantee anything

How does this look?
I don't think the shape is quite right.. but oh well.

Thats better than what i could do, but i would still blur up the line between the light and dark half of the tear a bit, too much contrast. Also, maybe if you pushed the drop in a bit away from the eye. Seems to cover too much. Or just leave it alone, cause like i said, its better than what i could do.
Mezzir, now I see the difference.... Yea, the one you did looks great!!!
