I like the color, detail, and the way the wasp is holding on to the grass stalk. I like this the best of your 3 Sand Wasp images. I think the vertical comp works very well.

Another great image of this sand wasp, Balan. Like Barb, I like this the best of the 3. The comp feels just right and nicely balanced in this image. . .the vertical orientation works really well with the tall stalks and placement of the wasp. Love his pose and the great colors throughout. Nice capture. :smile:

This is such a freeky looking critter. I like how the wasp contrasts with the background and is well placed in the vertical comp. This is the best for me.

Balan, this is my favorite one. I like the simple color palette, the warm light and the nice background. Well done.
