Very nice Ramon! Great detail, sharpness and perfect BG! I wouldn't mind seeing just a tad more canvas around him...he feels a little tight to me.

Great Paper Wasp image Ramon, DOF, sharpness,BG all super, great job. I especially like the angle you used so that you have great eye contact!

Agree with Julie about the canvas, also I would darken the bright abdomen area with a mask. Otherwise great as is.

Beautiful shot of this guy. I am allergic to wasp stings as well, so I doubt I will try to take any shots of them. I agree that a little more canvas would be nice.

Great work, Ramon! Excellent detail and background. I agree with the previous suggestions of adding canvas all around. Beautiful image!

Thank you all very much for you insights, with macro, when one is a bigginer, usually tries the best magnification possible, getting because of this, subjects that look tight in the frame, I should try to get a little more air arround the subjects, so thank you all again, for your kind suggestions!! Have a nice day everybody!

Hi Ramon.......sorry I'm late!!! ..........don't add too much room!.............Robert's suggestion of toning down the highlight on the body is the only thing I feel is needed overalll. Very nicely done!

Love this in-your-face capture of the wasp Ramon. Although there is some justification arguing for extra canvas I think this presentation works very well. The full frame capture is an excellent study of the insects body-parts shown in great detail, and nicely composed on the diagonal. Love it!!!
