Hi Alistair and a warm welcome to TrekNature

This is a wonderful macro shot to being your portfolio here with and i have to say i really like the amazing details and textures you've managed to get.
The twin flash also helped you a lot here, illuminating your subject well and evenly and bringing out the best of all those metallic surfaces.
Overall, a well composed beautiful shot.
Looking forward for many more, knowing your excellent work from other web galleries :)

Bravo and thanks for sharing

Hi Alistair,

Welcome to TN. This is a great macro, good focus and dof. Colours are superb and detail in the eyes very good. I like the angle of the shot and composition.

Best regards, Bill

A very good macro study of the wasp head, with the critical focus on the left eye front Alistair, also with perfect colour reproduction. Welcome to TN my friend.
