Click beetles

A nice shot that just needs 'tweaking' with the unsharp mask in PSE or similar and a tighter crop, IMHO. A credit to you and the Optio S5i

Thanks, Jon.

On my software, there is either a simple sharpening tool on a slider, which I've never found very successful.

Or there's"unsharp mask", for which there is no advice on the Help button.

There are 3 sliders:amount, radius & threshold.

Can anyone point me in the direction of advice on their use, or, indeed offer same from experiance?

Many thanks,

Coker.

I'm guessing this is already cropped quite a lot? Anyway, I like the crop as it is as it puts the beetles into context nicely. It also looks like additional sharpening has already been applied - not sure any more is necessary, but the beetles do look a little odd as if too much sharpening has been applied.

Just search "unsharp mask" on Google - there's a LOT of advice available.

Beetles. Disgusting animals. Look what they're doing in the Church Garden, let alone in front of the kiddies. Scandalous how bugs can eat holes in leaves in broad daylight. Anyway, nice shot, if a little too sharp(if that's possible!).
