This shot had a nice blurry background, but the pale yellow coloring on the left did nothing for me and I was fixing to trash it.
Instead I went into PS, clicked on Filter, go down to Render, then over to Lighting Effects.
Added the sun to the left (omni lighting, color - yellow), gave the overall image some additional saturation, and that was it! 8)
Cool!!

Thanks for looking gang!

It looks like a large eye in the BG, too! Those fly eyes are great!! Nice lighting work.

Well, I think I got the better end of the deal Mike :D :wink: This is excellent and probably just what it needed by the sounds of it. Love the comp and the subject is great of course M8t. Your shots are art anyway Mike, easy to see that from the floral work. Can't fault this one or the sun effect. Excellent use :) :)
