Bill, This is a beautiful natural history images, with a story. The wasp has probably intoxicated the katydid with its venrom. The comp is fantastic too, with that small piece of wood where the entire scene has unfolded. Nicely seen

Outstanding details here, Bill. The colors and textures pop very well. That flower on the right is a great addition.

Nice combination of colors and textures. Interesting with the black to green to yellow on the brown base. The BG works great.

Bill this is excellent. Not sure if you arranged the funeral pyre complete with the flowers or if that was just serendipity. This is stunning and what a fantastic scene of nature in its purest primal state. Great details, especially in the larger view.

This is really good. Kudos.
