    I pumped up the colors a lot and then applied a radial blur. Then I brushed back in the detail of much of the eye.

    Ken, I really like how the zoom blur is radiating from inside instead of from the top. Great colors and the details and comp. are cool. Well done.:)

    Ken, wow! The colors are killer - it's nice to have both the intense colors in the eyes and the softer bg colors. And I love the blur.:)

    I agree wholeheartedly with all of the above. The eyes are the best part of a fly and you emphasized that exquistely.

    The eyes have it! They grab your attention while the rest of the fly recedes with a perfect radial blur. Well done!

    Ken, that's a horsefly of a different color! Really nice job with the capture and blur treatment. I like it a lot!
