Needs to be toned down, as it looks a tad OTT for me. still a nice shot tho', well seen and taken.

Have to agree with Ray here the colouring/saturation is garish but a great macro shot with plenty of detail. Nice work..

I know I say this on all your images David, but it does look as though the flash needs some more diffusion. Good technique otherwise.

I realised the other day that I have photographed a single wasp so far this year. I can count on one hand the number I've seen. Last year I'd found quite a few by this point in the summer.

Have to agree this is oversaturated, but you have got some great detail there!
