It finally snowed beyond a laughable amount, so I went for a long walk in search of something interesting to photograph. I didn't find much, but alas I found a frozen fly right on my porch! I grabbed a towel from inside to sit on and made myself comfortable on my steps. The tripod on the snowy stairs was terribly awkward.
Rotated (he was actually hanging upside down on my railing)
Bumped exposure, black clipping, contrast, vibrance, clarity, and saturation in Lightroom.
Added vignette in Lightroom.
Exported to Photoshop for a better sharpening tool.
Cloned out some distracting spots.
Neat Image to reduce some grain in the background.
Save for web.
