John, the detail in this is really nice. The stack worked well. I really like the subtly patterned background. I'd like to see a little more room on the left, and less on the right. Also, there are a lot of dust spots that should be cleaned up.

Thanks Craig
Got most of the spots off. Will try more canvas adjust later.
Cheers

The details in the wasp and it's perch are terrific, John.  The background is nicely soft and complementary also.  There is some blotchiness in the background that may be a stacking artifact.  I see that in oof backgrounds regularly using Helicon Focus, but am surprised that it would show up in a 2 shot stack.

Thanks all
Mark- if the blotches are in the re post it may be where I cloned out the spots.
