Very good shot, Willie, specially with this strong backlight. Every details is in focus, which is sometimes difficult to achieve with a macro, and specially at f/4. You've got the elegance of this insect very well expressed.

Your macro is flawless, Willie. I can't believe the clarity you get with the cam you've got. Brilliant shot. This is a Vespidae (paper wasp) family member, If I am not mistaken it's Belonogaster dubia.

Nice shot, is strange, although some of the BG is washed out, you got all the wasp with leafes behind and dont disturbs a lot. Very nice subject and great note too. I like the flower.

Very good capture Willie and I really like the angle. The handling of the backlight is very good as well as the dof. Very informative note - thanks.

Glad you managed to get this without a sting...looks as though he is on alert though with wings up like that.
I would possibly adjust light levels and increase the colour saturation a little here to compensate for some of the 'bleaching' effect of the suns glare.
Look forward to seeing lizard shots too.

Great shot, Willie! Very detailed wasp, good composition and colours. Maybe BG is little too bright.
