Thanks Tim, and yes, you are spot on, it was taken through mesh. The OOF bars do spoil it but I didn't know how to correct it. Now I do if I can work out how to do it.

Nice shot Jim. I prefer this one, the edited version has too strong contrast IMHO.

I tend to agree here actually. You've pretty much fixed the differing contrasts in the bar/mesh area and the rest of the photo, but now the entire photo is a bit too contrasty. Keep the fix, but afterward dial down the overall contrast a bit
