This wasp and friends were busy feeding along with several other types. They seemed to ignor me, which I appreciated!

Great macro shot, John! You really were able to capture this guy when he was very still; even the wings aren't showing any sign of movement. Very good focus on the face; I like the "droopy" antennae. Nice blurred background and in colors that blend well with the wasp. I may have been tempted to crop a bit from each side but also great as is.

Excellent, John. I like the POV, BG, and colors. Good detail on the wasp.

John, a really nice look at this fellow. Sharp head and antennae and nicely-blurred BG.
Fine image!
