Mostly an exercise in getting the fly into the amber
Masking the amber and fly then several layers added with multiple and overlay blending modes and adjustment layers using brightness and contrast, Hands enlarged and the drop shadow added and masked for the amber (5 years and 3102 days ago)

Really nice blend, the fly looks embedded quite realistically.
The main focus of the image is really excellent.. A very realistic outcome. I agree with you author that the background should be changed, but again, the fly in the amber looks fantastic.
good one =)
Very well done ... it truly looks as if it is lock inside the amber.
Have found a decent back will play with it over the next day or so thanks for the comments so far.
Great =)
Very intelligent choice of background! Good luck author
