Let me be the first to comment on this one David

Like the shot, just needs a little more head turn IMO, detail is very good and thats one hairy wasp too.

Hi David

Visually more pleasing than your previous post but not as interesting - as Andy said that is one hairy wasp!

Hello David.

Very nice exemple of this wasp digging in to a pear, and the dark dackground as helped to show of those hairs very nicely.

another nice one David. A nice pose and good composition although the flash perhaps looks a little harsh.

I'm enjoying the series of wasp shots! Love the detail! I agree with Matt that the fill flash was a wee bit harsh! But can still see detail in the yellow!

Good image and agree with a slight head turn, you need to be more commanding with your sessions wasps !
