when i see pictures like this it makes me go insane thinking that i will never take such a thing, for lack of skill, a good camera, and fear of beeing stung. Awesome job. Going in my favorites. Congrats on 3rd.
Beautiful photo! Incredible detail. A little more in focus detail in the flower would have been great (depth of field), but I love that the background is completely out of focus. With a moving subject like this, you've done a great job! Well done!
Very nice! Lots of great detail. Strong yellow feel, the pollen on the wasp adds to the detailed wow! If anyone complains about your DOF or the antenna out of focus, just blow them off (it's just not possible!!) GREAT PHOTO! Easy 10!

You have done an absolutely fantastic job capturing this, in my opinion. The crisp focus of the wasp? against the out of focus background draws my attention back to the center of the frame. Very nice! --10
Can't figure out what "bugs" me abouit this one... Oh, yes, maybe it is that it is just one bang up good image. Itfeatures only one color, but what content!
How do you get those little buggers to pose so nice? :)
Excellent macro shot. Having a bit more space around the flower/wasp would probably make the color contrast more interesting, but a very good shot none the less.
This is one of my favorites for this week. I love the use of color and I really love the subject matter. Whatever lens you used for this one has great bokeh. The DOF looks pretty good on this picture but it might be better if you had just a little more (maybe 1 stop smaller on the aperture?). The reason I say that is that the antennae look soft to me but the body looks great. I don’t know what the rest of the picture looked like but it might be nice if you left a little more open space on the left side of the picture. I gave this one an 8.
