Nice image JR. A little off the right would take it out of centre and I would be tempted to clone out the white strands touching the wing. Looks like a near miss with the spiders web! :eek:

Wrong one or not, I still like the way you have controlled depth of field and produced a great shot of a species that may be common, but is often difficult to do.

Looks good, focused on the glow in the wings and the cracking pose so didn't notice the nits till you told me :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

The beautiful lighting coming through the wings makes the shot for me and shaded head has just enough detail. Agree with David as to these not being easy.

Thanks all.

Sorry I thought I'd replied. CZM is a stacking programme but it has a high pass sharpening filter which I like to use,
