If you rotate the image 90 degrees anticlockwise, the "creature from the lagoon", a demonic winged figure of great size centred on the hourglass, appears very sharply, complete with fingers on the ends of the arching wings.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful comments
I was concerned I had undersaturated it in the latest go around. Re did it all and got this less saturated version:

I think seeing the image on different screens confuses the issue too. Astrobin always seems to me to present a duller image, which I’m sure isn’t the case.
I was also unsure whether having the little bit of noise was a better option than getting rid of it.

The details are still there but somehow it looks less interesting to me? Maybe there’s a bit of reading detail into the noise that perhaps isn’t there? Have been playing with crops and colour too
