Is this really ghost eye? Do you think the touch ups look better? I only used one coat of 50% transparent black but it still seems dark to me. Should I go more transparent or is this just not really a ghost eye? Did I make the black area too large or blur it too much. Critique please! Thanks Kim!!!

You did a great job! I tried to see if I could soften the black eyes of the first one, and it was VERY hard... so you did just fine! A+

Very good placement of the white spots too! Always try to put it where the light source is coming for the rest of the photo... in the second photo, the light source is straight ahead, and that eactly where you placed it! My star pupil! :D
