Composit of 2 bug photos plus one of my son. Mostly cut and paste, clone, healing and smudge tool, dodge and burn after using the Yearbook filter in Virtual Photographer. Did the flood filter in Flaming Pear. Then I ran an acid action to funk up the colors a bit.
Probably won't go over that well and it isn't compositionally perfect, but after nearly 4 hours, I was determined to enter it. ;~D

ha !! ... i remember this one when i looked thru the challenge .. i didnt vote tho .. this is just excellent ... love your idea .. i was thinking of something similar with a bee chasing our dog but there was no sun and i couldnt get a bee without the light coz they move too fast ..
i really love your processing on this and the person looks really scared !! ... after this challenge went in for voting i thought that my entry would'v gone better desaturated which might'v made the flies fit better into the scene .. wotever .. i'm happy with my score when i consider some of the excellent images that went into this challenge .. :):)
you see the nice big bugs, but you have to look hard to see the model. I think the model needs to stand out more, and the bugs need to stand out less. I think the more effective movie posters featured the screaming people with hints of whats scaring them.
It's a pretty good effect, though I think there are details that are too blown out, especially in the girl, whose legs seem to have no connecting body to her arms and head... ;-Þ
Great, but needs a better title.

Nice use of the Flood Plug-in. And you thought no one would notice!
