Folks,

This one is from the lone plant at my house. These wasps have probably started building the nest. Used extension tubes, a tripod for Moral Support. Lol its not a sturdy one .. ;-)

7D, 70-200f4L, 7.1, 1/100 ISO 400

Thanks NPN for your support

An interesting looking wasp, the large version is exceptional. Nice work. :toast:

Excellent, Balan. I've never seen a red wasp. The color is remarkable, and both the excellent detail and color show well against the nice soft bg. Well done.

Excellent DOF here! The wasp is tack sharp! I think it would be neat to also have a vertical with more of this hanging structure that it made in the frame!
