Waspby =mydigitalmind

Photography / Macro / Nature

I saw this wasp on a my rhododendron and decided to take some close ups since it didn't seem to want to fly away (it was alive and moving though). I took a few shots with live view on 2x zoom. It was my first time attempting macro with that setting. I did not have a tripod, but somewhat had my arm resting on the handle of my grill.

Wow, amazing. I love the way this wasp is looking at the camera, almost posing for the picture. The picture itself looks amazing, and I love the way that you used macro for this, for it really brings it out, and will get peoples attention. The wasp is beautiful also, I love the colors on him. I think the leaf could have been a bit greener, but in all, I am stunned at the beautiful pose, colors, and overall stillness and peace the photo brings out, a very interesting photo at the most, you did a wonderful job on it for sure.
