Goldenrod With Passenger

Here is goldenrod, which sprang up in my rose garden. So many insects were drawn to the flowers, that I didn't have the heart to pull it out. Pictured here is one of the wasps,who came to visit. Thank goodness, that I'm not allergic to goldenrod!
:biggrin: I chose a vignette, as the BG was as bright as the flower.

The contrasting yellow and red colors are quite eye-catching. I also like the contrasting shapes of the goldenrod from the almost overtaken roses. The green blurred background and your vignette work well to even more accent this vivid combination and the wasp makes an interesting addition. Pretty! :smile:

Beautiful presentation. The added vignetting certainly makes a big difference in the image's impact on the viewer. Great processing.
