Here is what I achieved in a rush. Certainly requires more finetuning.

This is the RAW file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tc0ny49vsof96f2/CPA_7903.NEF?m Taken using ISO 800 with a shutter speed of 1/2000 to try to balance freezing the wings and still get adequate depth of field, whilst keeping noise manageable. A compromise. This isn't completely achieved (the wing tips are blurred and the forewing isn't great). I really want to use 1/4000 with ISO 1600, but the Nikon D300 doesn't give me acceptable results at ISO 1600. My processing objectives then are to preserve the details of the veins in the wing, whilst removing noise from the body and wings. The background can be smoothed away completely. So I selectively used G'MIC's anistropic smoothing on the background, the wingtips and much of the forewing, and I used G'MIC's Octave sharpening selectively on the hindwings central area (this includes the most important veins for flight performance - identification isn't a problem for this subject, but for some species it is important) and the abdomen and head. probably using different parameters for the different parts - I don't remember now. The final result is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7dxfikc5ts3u9io/common_hawker_eskdale_common.tiff?m
