The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
This is a kind of scoliid wasp and it was seen yesterday on a rain-sodden flower. Scoliid wasps parasitize beetles, often ones which are pests, so they are very welcome to us humans.
Specific Feedback
All comments welcome.
Technical Details
D500 + 105mm macro 1/800 f14 ISO 1600
Cropped. Denoise and tonalities and slight sharpening in PS.
Mike: At first glance I thought this was a bee but whatever it is the capture is marvelous. Wonderful details in the wasp and the perch. Most excellent. >=))>
Wow – what gorgeous, perfect details on this little beast! The OCD half of my split personality is bothered by the tight crop at the bottom. The visual flow of the bottom edge of the petals fits the shape of the wasp and it would be easy to extend the canvas just a little and crop a corresponding amount from the top. Or you could crop in more from the bottom and go with an 8x10 format if you want to stay with standard ratios. A crop from the bottom would really make the wasp jump off the page!
Large view is awesome Mike. Repost takes this one to perfection. The subject is nice and sharp and everyone should note that bees have branched hairs while wasps have unbranched hairs. Very nice indeed!..Jim
