More feedback: If it was mine and I had the pixels, I would crop much closer to the insect and the 'in focus' flowers. IMO, the rest of it is just uninteresting real estate.
(On the other hand, I did give this a 6 during voting. Probably 'cause that bug is really well seen and photographed.) |

I gave this a 6. I thought the composition was good with the wasp placed sort of along the rule of thirds and the colours were pretty.
I didn't rate it higher because of these reasons:
-it looks under-exposed/too dark
-the focus is on the flower and not on the wasp......you can see parts of the wasp's back that are not in focus. Either focus on the wasp or increase your DOF so the wasp and flower are in focus.
-grainy, you can fix this with neat image or noise ninja

Feedback, per your request.
I gave this a 7, and I tend to leave fewer comments on my higher votes, figuring they are not needed. Biggest problem I can see that may be impacting the perception is that the background flowers appears somewhat grainy. Some careful noise reduction might have been able to help that aspect. I played with this a little and found that some NR, followed by a modest amount of tonemapping (Using PSP's clarify, but the "photo pop" preset in Topaz Adj. would work the same) and sharpening really gave it some needed oomph. |
