Took a picture of what I believe is an Orchard Orbweaver and I'm having trouble editing it cause I'm used to landscape photography.
I have a closeup of my edit as picrel and I'm bothered with how noisy it is.
I've linked the mega folder with the best pictures and if you could pick one and edit and post it that would be much appreciated.

I didn't even know they existed before that day.
I was going through a park looking for a butterfly garden(didn't find it) and ran into a spider web
then as I continued walking I was about to run into a second one but noticed it and the spider so I took pictures of the spider instead

>I'm bothered with how noisy it is
That's what you get with a budget APS-C body and 1600 ISO. They're noisy even at 100 ISO when properly exposed and you're at least 6 stops under exposed with this. 4 under by going to ISO 1600, and ~2 stops dark after all that gain.
This is what I would do with this shot. Fighting noise is just copium at this point. It's not even sharp.
Consider using a flash or two next time. Lighting the subject goes a long way. Especially for spiders. Lighting can help make webs shine.

Try using higher iso. Slightly overexpose even. Gives better results than moderate iso and underexposing.
