    Cool. Like #1. If you relaxed the framing a bit more perhap a bit more of the wings would be in focus. #2 is good, but I dont like the under-lighting. #3 Great DOF placement, artificial lighting comes through on the leaf, and the bg is distracting #4 ike the reds and greys #5 Like it, maybee the subject could have been a bit more in the top right #6 nice perspective, the bg is distracting #last like it a lot, a bit more framing to the left to capture more wasp would be great.

    #2 could he be trying to perceive the future with that crystal ball? :D MM

    Thanks for looking and commenting everybody :) - very much appreciated.

    Phil - I'm always amazed at the variety and size range of wasps.

    TRP - Think it was just practicing it's bubble blowing - it never managed anything larger than the one in photograph :)
