Hi Ken,

This is a high impact image that could benefit from some TLC.

I selected everything but the face and run Noise Ninja twice. Flatten and used the Burn tool on the rock. Finished with the selective sharpening of the face (just a bit)

Hope you like it!

Hi Ken - This is an unusual presentation but one with buckets of impact - Well done!!

I do like the treatment that Fabs has made, especially the sharpening giving extra impact to those compound eyes.

[Kenn Christensen]

Fabs.. your FAB... no DOUBT about it!.. very nice!

Great image and Fabs work was excellent. A winner for sure...

Hey Ken, very cool image. Nice details and DOF, well done Fabs on the repost.

I just bought my first DSLR and macro lens and THIS is why. What a fantastic look at something we we normally would never get a glimpse of!
