The Red Paper Wasp


With no photo shoots for more than a month now, am re-visiting my archives.

A brown paper wasp, on its nest.

I’m glad you revisited your archives and posted this guy, Balan. Very nicely presented, in my opinion. The smooth green background sure makes the wasp and his nest stand out nicely. Details where they are needed. Great colors.

Balan: Wasps are not a favorite subject of mine but this image is fantastic, especially the details in the eye. Most excellent. >=))>

Balan, the details both in the wasp and in it’s nest are very striking. The color scheme, which I know you chose very carefully :grinning:, looks great. I could see a bit of burning-in on the leading edge of the nest in the bottom 1/4, but that’s a very minor bit of an outstanding view.

Hi Balan, wow, great capture of this wasp. You caught him “at home”; nice smooth background; really nice sharpness and detail throughout. There is a faint half circle at the bottom which is a bit distracting but hardly noticeable.

Balan, a great image of the wasp. Love the details and the composition. Paper thin nest shows well. Background is perfect.
