A tiny garden orb spider (no more than 5mm) so had to use extension tubes & high ISO. Adjusted white balance + levels, also some chroma noise reduction.

This is my first image using a new monitor calibrated with Spyder2 :biggrin: , how does it look to you? Also, should I clone out the greens on both sides of the corner?

Best regards,

Des

D50
90mm + tubes

VERY colourful setting Des, and good head detail from such a tiny creature!!

Colours look good on my screen!

The green area on top-left, is more distracting than the top-right area, as it is more sharply defined, IMO.

Hi Des,

In ideal world, there would not be anything green protruding into to image. But that aside, it's a great image with quite unusual perspective. And I like how well spider is separated from soft background.

Cheers,
Marko
