Default HDR/Macro/Photoshop/Picasa

Well this caught my eye the very moment I saw it, A beautiful spider preparing it's lunch in my back yard! I used CS5 and Picasa to edit it, and an array of edits that I can list if you really want to know.

BEFORE


FINISHED WITH


looks so much better in my opinion post edit, I took it with my Satio, with a magnifer lens on the front!

Please feel free to comment!

The second looks much better if for no other reason then it's in much sharper focus.

No guys, Its the same pic, I tilted it, and sharpened it, and then zoomed in, and then I cropped it some more and then I zoomed in again, as well as all the lighting and color adjustments, It quiet a little complicated piece of editing LOL Thanks

The spider itself changed position between the shots. Look at the position of the legs. This is not the same photo.

Oh really? So complicated that you changed the position of the spider? That must have been a whole lot of work.

Liar, cheat....
