Wow! Interesting! Is that 2 insects or just one!

I like what you did... are the effects applied evenly, or did you apply it to various areas only?
It's two, actually, in a rather compromising position methinks! I started by converting the whole thing to greyscale, then selected everything but the bugs and played with the Gamma levels (same as channel mixer?) ending up with a bright purple background then converted the selection back to greyscale again... like I said, I was just palying around... I was hoping to pull the bugs out of the background clutter without isolating them too much.
I was beginning to wonder if the new Alien vs Predator had a sex scene it, now it has been confirmed!
SssssssScary =)
Very nice shot, do you have the original? can we/I see please?

You brought the bugs out nicely IMHO.
