Version 2, tried converting to black & white, & my 1st attempt at using dodge & burn technique

Might be worth trying the colour channels to help separate the spider from the background as the tones are quite similar. How did you convert?

Hi Richard

The image has great potential. My personal feeling it needs a little bit more work to create some separation between the subject and the backgroundn, maybe lightening the spider will work. But as I said great image and thanks for sharing

Thank you both for your comments & advice.
I am quite new to the delights of photo editing...I shall persevere
