Hi, Paul. I agree with Rick. Going further, you've managed to produce a stunningly contrasty (Fred would say punchy) image which at the same time shows faint outer features and razor sharp detail and excellent saturation in the brightest bits, and yet a strong sense that the spider is far brighter than the environs.
I was comparing with our version. I think that by throwing hours and aperture at it, we've got more of the super-faint stuff, but the price is that to try to maintain a feeling that the spider is very very bright, we've almost totally lost any kind of inner detail. (as the engineers say, 'Price, features, time to market; pick any two.')
Well done!
Best,
Mike n Trish
