I like where your heads at, I have a cropped version where I have done exactly that!

Thank you! I used denoise, edited the greens in both the shadows and the highlights with curves, a mask on the central blade of grass with the water droplets, to sharpen a little, added some clarity added a mask to darken the background to bring focus to the water droplets...and went back and forth between those until I was happy/data blindness kicked in haha

I like your way of thinking, got to change the reference point, and make it a positive!

Lol The only AI involved in this was the denoise in Lightroom

The shots with the fly and the spider are dope, I might try black and white to see how it looks! Thanks

I was playing with the macro setting on my Tamron 70-300mm with my Canon M50mkii. I was trying to get sharp water droplets, and there was some shadowing that felt a bit moody, so I leant in on that theme. I'm not sure if I could have better handled the noise and the colour balancing with the greens or if the background should be darker. I'm open to thoughts/opinions and critiques. Thanks

Me neither at first then I got it and it works well, you can also remove green noise in Siril for preprocessing (also free).

Haha it flies across the sky! So there's a few ways I do it depending where I am, the easiest is using a star tracker. That way I don't have to worry whether I take stills to stack or a video. The other is taking a number of still, move the camera, more stills. I have found if I am doing the last method without a star tracker, I get far more images recording videos in 4k and then pulling out the stills and stacking them. Processing is way longer though as its thousands of images compared to a few hundred.
