An outstanding capture of this incredible beautiful Sand Wasp, Ivan! Truly awesome level of detail on the focus area. I like the pleasant brightness/contrast ration here, the yellow colors which represent the highlights are well captured and the composition seems quite pleasant too! Bravo Ivan, for me this is a great capture!

Hallo Ivan
You really have some stunning images in your gallery, this Sand wasp being one of them. Wow, if this is not perfect photography then I do not know what is. The bright colours is really gorgeous, the focus on the dot, the composition to my liking and everything else just so pretty. This is indeed a spectacular macro. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.

Hello Ivan. Interesting to see wasps crawling on sandy beach as we don't get to see that often here in Malaysia. What is interesting is the name too. You capture is brilliant and 300mm with the converted kept you at a very good distance. The focus is tack sharp stopping down to f8 leaving most of the important element in very nice vivid details. Brilliantly composed and thanks for sharing.

Hi Ivan,
the name itself is so special!
Very nice view of its contrast background on the sand. The stripes and other details are well shown and it is such a special wasp to me.
the depth of field really gives an effective view.

Bonjour Ivan,
A very interesting contribution to TN. These Bembix Wasps are impressive, I have seen some in our mountain region too. Both images are well taken, nice to have a dorsal view too. The color-combination grey/yellow is very pleasant. Amazing to read that they feed even on Horse-flies!
Un grand merci
Bon dimanche à vous deux
