Great Color, but the pixels are showing quite a bit on the insects legs. Moving out a bit on the cropping might help.

ooo, look at that bug! : )

In this type of photos (macro shots) Try to keep your subject as the center spot...

I liked the one in your outtakes like this but without the bug. It was a more balanced image.

Wow, this is the best of the wasp shots. Too bad the flower's pestal is in the way. Most of this week's shots had serious macro/depth of field problems. In your case, the wasp is more on a single plane, leaving it all in focus. I think I would have liked having more of the flower in focus, but in this case, the lack of depth isn't so bad for the subject. 8 Swash

Nice image, but it feels like it was cropped a lot because of the pixels in the bees legs and this kind of blows the impact. The ligth is great.

Nice colors, nice catch

I like the contrast of the "splashes" of color wutht eh sarp detail on the insect.

did you crop this out of a much larger photo? i suspect you did because of the pixelation. that's unfortunate, because otherwise this would be a totally awesome shot. the other flower in the bottom left is distracting, too, outside of this competition you'd be able to clone that out of course. -- gr8photos (3)

beautiful macro!
07/17/2002 06:23:00 PM
Too many bug photos...
07/17/2002 02:04:00 PM
I simply love this picture. The detail is wonderful, and I like the simplicity of the the colors between the blue and green. This would make an awesome poster. karmat

i really like the colors in this one, but some of this guy's legs are kinda...pixel-y, if you know what i mean.
07/17/2002 09:04:00 AM
Jaggy edges. the entire bottom left corner is bad. need to get closer and with a clearer view of that bee/wasp/bug.
07/17/2002 02:17:00 AM
jagged edges on bee's legs
07/16/2002 02:35:00 PM
The flower or whatever it is underneath is a distraction, otherwise a nice shot.
07/16/2002 06:21:00 AM
interesting macro :) I know it was probably impossible to do, but a different angle would be nice on this one.. the green in the bottom left of the frame doesn't seem appealing... = 6 - jmsetzler

What happened to make this so digitized? Beautiful shot otherwise.
07/15/2002 07:06:00 PM
awesome pic
07/15/2002 06:58:00 PM
a little more focus
07/15/2002 04:49:00 PM
This bees freak me out. very nice blue. 6
07/15/2002 02:12:00 PM
Good catch
07/15/2002 01:46:00 PM
Wow! The wasps we have here are more yellow, did yoy tweek the colors to get the purty blue? Nice work, one of my top picks this week.

Nice perspective.
07/15/2002 05:02:00 AM
Pretty blue.
07/15/2002 02:32:00 AM
Excelent macro shot.
07/15/2002 01:53:00 AM
There is some pixelization on the insects leg, but I'm guessing that is from a rather extreme crop? Otherwise, nice shot! The plant in the lower left is a bit distracting but otherwise I like it.
