These wasp were very active feeding on these blooms. A slight breeze added to the challenge of macro photograhy.

Sweet shot, get it, sweet? Anyways. I like this a lot John. Nice DOF and sharp. Kind of wish the wing was not bisected by the vege, but I know it can be very hard to get clean lines of sight on these small subjects.

Beautifully done, i like the patterns and colors on the wasp. I didn't know they were so pretty.

Excellent capture, John. The yellow flower is made an excellent complement and base for the black and yellow wasp. Nice detail on the wasp and an excellent POV. I agree with John about the bisected wing. In fact, you might consider cropping the top down to the base of the stem to minimize the effect.

A slight breeze and you still were able to capture that detail? Very impressive image

Great low angle and excellent focus on the right stuff!
The OOF stuff in front of the wing does not bother me, but it's apparently a distraction for some, so the 4x5 horizontal will work well, too.
