Excellent, Elizabeth. Very clean shot of this wasp, and the detail in the wasp is outstanding, particularly for being HH. :toast:

Very nice. Great color and detail on the wasp with a wonderful BG to show it off. The cactus is a plus as is its color. The ndew drop and it's small image is a nice touch.

NICE JOB! You sure are getting a lot of mileage out of your cactus....This is one of the nicest wasp shots I have seen in awhile!

Neat capture with the wasp and the water drop. You got good sharpness where it was needed and a nice plain background. Well done.
