All I found today. Captured hand-held with a small (1/2.3") sensor Panasonic FZ200 bridge camera and Raynox 150 close-up lens, with a Venus Optics KX800 twin flash. All used f/45 full frame equivalent aperture and autofocus. The raw files were batch processed in PhotoLab and Silkypix, with image-specific adjustments in Lightroom and a round trip from Lightroom out to and back from DeNoise AI used with Auto settings in batch mode.
#1 For the first two I used a slower than usual shutter speed (1/250 vs usual 1/1000 sec or faster) in order to get a bit more to work with for raising the very dark shadows in the background.

#3 The darker background areas looked even darker for this scene so I slowed the shutter speed right down to 1/80 sec. Too slow really as it turned out, but the out of focus leg does reflect the fact that it was moving around at that point.

#4 Here it had reappeared after moving away from where I first found it, at which point I went back to a more typical shutter speed of 1/1000 sec.
