Happy Sunday dear riny :-)
Thank you for 'seeing' what I 'saw' in viewing this abstract image ....
I appreciate it and value your opinion about the noise, & grainy a bit too much as well I think ...
I do need a new camera honestly - but the reason for the noise I think is because my sensor had shown spots on this shot .... and I tried to 're-touch' them in the program picasa - as well as my settings could have been contributing (?)
What do you think ?
Shutter was 1/200
Aperture- F/20.0
ISO - 400
The choices they give you to choose from aren't available so much when posting , so I put down as close as possible sometimes ...
I appreciate your sharp eye and honest interest , I need help .
Please tell me if you have spots on your images from high humidity and 'what to do '.
I clean my sensor a lot - especially if it's a 'day' at the beach I need to - but I have found that a thick ( like a bracelet) rubber band seems to help and almost 'stop' this problem if placed covering where the lens is attached ...
Hugs , & kusjes , from stormy Oregon coast , USA , Michele~

Thank You dear Jose - interesting you would say 'airbrush' . .. colors , as I have had problems in the past with the high humidity we have
my sensor is very prone to showing spots -
I have 2 len's and I change them frequently . At $50 and 2 weeks with-out my camera I needed to learn how to clean it myself - I noticed several spots on this image and used the 're-touch' feature on picasa - so that could be noticeable (?)
Thank You for your help my friend !!!

I like the white back ground makes this spider really show all markings and stand out !! This spider is not as scary and you made it look almost handsome
Well done Roby !

Hi Pilgrim , love your subject - well composed and aligned , looks like it could be a hard shot but you managed very well with good dof + bg - Did you get to try some wine ? If so would you recommend it
Cheers,
Michele~

so this is what you've been up to roby - the amazing spider for sure -
I love the clarity , detail , texture and tones in this macro , how big is this spider ? >> like a small fingernail > or bigger than a thumb fingernail ? It looks very big and hairy too , kind of scary to me :-)
Makes a beautiful image !!
hugs, Michele~
