Charlie, I think you have captured an interesting specimen here! I am not too sure about the spotlight effect around the wasp though.

Very nice capture. The small blue flower is a great element. I, too, have reservations about the heavy vignette, but that's a matter of taste.

I agree now that you both have mentioned it. I overdid the vignette. The background is so busy I'll need to give it a bit more attention. Thanks.

The detail and color is great. I am ambivalent about the vignetting. If the edges were not so dark, it might work better.
