Marc: I love this head on look. While I generally despise wasps this one at least has provided a fine photographic opportunity. I especially like your POF/DOF choice. Nicely done. >=))>

Marc, I think I would have let him win the staring contest too. I respect wasp, but have found that many on flowers and plants seem to ignore me when I photograph them. Great face on look, and nice DOF.

Usually being ignored by a wasp is a good thing! :grinning:

Marc, an excellent head on look at this wasp. The black eyes and details in it’s face stand out well.

Very Nice!
I like the way the antennae tips are out of focus, but sharpen at the origin with the head…it draws the eye naturally to the head.

Beautiful face to face image! the wasp/s face stands out on a nice perch. sharp eyes on an oof background are a plus.
