Keith,
Well crafted composition. The yellow grabs your attention but the contrast of it vs. the wasp, makes the wasp stand out well.
The wasp is well portrayed Keith against the bright yellow flowers and shows excellent detail. Well done!
Wow, just wow. I really need to learn macro. Love the colors. I wonder if some diffused light would help with the bright spot on the eye.
Great exposure and BG control Keith, great image.
Was the wasp collecting or just pausing.

Hey Keith I really like this, excellent details on the wasp and love the surroundings. I would like to see a little deeper blacks in the wasp body, maybe a little burn tool.
Very well done, I really like how the yellow frames the wasp.
