Anti Red-Eye
Here is another shot taken during a week of photographing insects.

This is a Bluebottle Fly sat on the end of a blade of grass. I don't normally manipulate the shots I take but for some reason I decided to have a go & this is how it came out.

All I have done here is desaturate the whole image except the eye & sharpen a bit using USM.

Comments much appreciated whether on a positive or a negative note.

Thanks for looking :toast:

It is very effective. The eye just jump out of the photo.

I think the shot is great, I love the colours or lack of them! and the red eye is great. Well done
