[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Records show that the European Wasp (Vespula germanica) first reached Australia in 1959.

At present, the European Wasp distribution appears to be resticted to the cool and wet climates of coastal southern Australia. It occurs throughout most of Victoria and Tasmania. In country New South Wales, nests have been located at Coonabarabran, while several nests have been recorded in south-east Queensland. In South Australia, the European Wasp is well established throughout the hills surounding Adelaide and Adelaide itself. And in Western Australia, it has been recorded from Perth and Albany.

That is an excellent composition, Chi Liu. I like the details on the wasp and the soft colors on the leaf and BG. Great POV and sharp details. Well done and TFS. : )

Hi Chi!
This one looks particularly nasty to me!
No wonder Australians are so paranoiac about letting alien flora and fauna enter their country!
Jokes apart, this is a superb macro. Every detail stands out clearly.

Hello Chi,

Excellent details, colors, POV and exposure in this fine composition.

Great job and interesting note.

Thank you!

Hi Chi,
Excellent macro shot here. Your exposure on this looks perfect. The colors are well saturated and very beutiful. Detail is very sharp, and your control on the DOF is excellent. Nice OOF backround.

Excellent shot, Chi.
The insect is very well set off from a soft background. Details and colours both of the wasp and the leaf are delicious. I love the soft hairs on the plant.
I've never seen good old Vespula germanica so well taken before. But she's not the only model who has to travel around the globe for an excellent shooting.
Notes are very interesting. Thanks and congratulations!
Peter

Well done Chi Liu, I like it. The colors, exposure and sharpness are very good.
Thank You!
