Photoshop,when how much is too much?

One day I was checking out del.icio.us I came across this site by accident.
PhotoshopDisasters. Can you believe some people actually get paid for doing this kinda work?:P

Mind you,I myself do a little bit too much tweaking on photoshop sometimes,if not all the time!

A recent example of my over tweaking below:

The one on the left is the original art,and one on the right is tweaked in photoshop.
If I could choose,I would rather to not have to do so much tweaking,as it seems to make the original art kinda blah. So these days,if I have some artwork sketched out without feeling that I need to do too much photoshop tweaking to it I would be quite happy! ^

Many years ago,I remember having carefully coloured an artwork before in photoshop,posted it up (being quite satisfied with it) and having someone tell me that I got the thumb on the wrong side on one hand LOL (oops!)

While visiting some artist friends in the states earlier this year,we were also talking about the over-usage of the photoshop filter “lense flare”probably when was just introduced into photoshop at the time —finished your artwork? Let’s add some “lense flare”!:P Eyes not sparkley enough? Yup “lense flare”! LOL

There’s probably a fine line between what’s enough and what’s too much no?
