Hi Pat.. I allready got stuck ;-(
As a amature in taking pictures and Photoshop, for me, you gave me a nice workshop. For now (it's allready after midnight)I'm saving it for tomorrow.

Robin:
How about you do it.. It is your image..
Step 1. Use you clone tool to clean up all the little distractions.
Step 2. Selective sharpening, Copy the entire frame, then, do an unsharpe mask. Don't over do it. In the end the results will only be in the center so nevermind what's the sharpening is doing to the outside portions of the image. Once have the sharopening to your liking the do a paste to paste the original over the image you just sharpend. Now use your eraser tool with a soft brush to brush in the areas of sharpening you want. Once this is done do a merge visiable.
Next is a curves layer mask. The idea is to draw atention in to the face. Make a new adjustment layer ( Curves ) Pull down a bit on the top curve and pull right a bit on the bottom curve. This should darken the entire frame some. Now use a soft paint brush with black selected to paint in the areas you want to return to original levels, in this case the fly's face. ( if you get in trouble you can delete the layer and start over )
When done do a merge visible..
Now. Copy the entire frame again. Then paste it. The do a filter/blur/gausian (blur the image out almost completly) Now bring up your layers menu by clicking window/layers. Now set blending to multiply. SLide the opacity control to the left, probably about 60-75% of the way (pay atention to the outside of the image as that is where we will apply the effect. Now use the eraser again the brush away the blending effect from the fly's face.
Merge visable, Now use the burn tool to darken the corners...(Ala Ansel Adams)
You are finished..
If you get stuck let me know....

Well done Robin! The focus right on the face. A smaller aperture would have given more depht though. Keep sending those macro's.
