Cuckoo Wasp · 07:02 AM

EDIT: As it appears, this is not a Cuckoo wasp, but a Chalicoid wasp....

Another great macro. Really like the colors.

Wow. Very clear. I noticed 2 lenses posted at the top. How does this work?

Thanks a lot! I am not totally pleased with the background colour, but it is how it is....

Thanks! I had a 50mm mounted on a 90 mm macro lens. Reversed.

I understand your feeling on the color, and probably not much you can do. However a crop to get rid of some of the extraneous background would help diminish it somewhat.

Thank you both!
Yes, I could have cropped it, and I think there is space enough both 'real' space as well as quality, but I liked the composition this way.
When my computer is back I will try a crop though! Thanks....

Strange looking wasp don't see those here but now thanks to you I can identify them - tack sharp Rense.

Very nice, the complementary colours of the background help boost the subject.
