Hi all, when I took this photo I didn't have my polariser with me, resulting in poor definition of the Common Newt (at position 5 o'clock). Any help in showing it more clearly would be appreciated together with any other improvements.
Any other info required please ask.

Thanks ed, that has made the water boatman clearer as well as the newt. Was it just a lightening of the image ?

I used Layers to segregate the newt, then worked each part individually, sharpening and Brightness/Contrast,

This one, used Camera Raw's auto settings, then as above.

Would look better, from original. Cheers, Ed.
