I took this picture of the spider back in 2018. The spider was pretty sharp back when I originally processed it. I've had Topaz Sharpen AI for a year or so now and didn't use it until recently. When I reprocessed this image and used Sharpen AI I was impressed with how well the lichen turned out. Just thought I'd share as not getting out much right now (and I don't post much).

The lichen does pop in details.. spiders hairs are pretty sharp also. Do you know the name of the spider? it looks like one we have here a "Dark Fishing Spider", Dolomedies tenebrosus. Very nice image.

Thanks, I think this is a wolf spider but I could be completely wrong as well.

I, for one, am glad you posted this!
Macros of lichens interest me, and then you've added the bonus of a spider!

A good image all round - sharp7, interesting subject, great textures in the lichen. I am lichen it a lot!

Great combination. The spider has staked a claim on this spot. Great details , colors and textures in the lichen and spider. Well done.

Terrific capture of both the spider and the lichen! The details and textures are very nice.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I posted this then found the thread about Topaz sharpen AI saving shots made with less than good glass. I think it saved this shot and this was made with really nice glass so useful for those slightly off shots too.

Thanks again

Tim
