Levels , Usm(150,0.2,2 x3) S/h , Noise removal , cropped and a small piece of spider web cloned.

The B/G shows him off well, some nice detail in the legs and wings.

Nice work.

Hi Andy,
Nice meeting you and Glyn, thanks for leaving me in the mosquitoe breakfast bar :wink: I got more bites than good shots. I wonder if these Red-veined will visit again this year. Nice shot, like the pose.
