 This was taken JUST before the still life challenge, so I couldn't enter it in that one, unfortunately. I didn't kill the wasp, it was found just after it must have died, as it still had a very vibrant color (as you can see) and wasn't stiff.

A truly incredible shot! Simply beautiful! I think you got votes from people who thought you killed it, because there's no other way this would have scored that low.

Great shot & I love the tones. My only negative is that I'm not crazy about the crop - it seems awfully tight on the top. Still a strong image and a good score.
