Dunno how I missed the other one - it's a showstopper. This totally different treatment is its equal. You appear to have had lots more dof to play with but chose to concentrate on that narrow band at the front to emphasise the spider webs. It really paid off !

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thank you David and Giulio - and yes the choice of dof was deliberate; too much and you not only lose the web detail, but also the seed heads get lost with those behind
