looking good sofar
im no expert at macro (or anything else to be precice;D )

the focus could be better, i normally like macros of insects more when the focus is on the head/eyes, but the wasp looks OOF in the head region

keep up the good work ^^

Thanks! When I took this shot, I tried to use automatic focus. But I was having a hard time working on the auto focus. That led me to use the manual focus but still I couldn't get a clear focus of the whole wasp.

99% of the best macro photographers use manual focus...auto sucks with macro..dof is to tight for it to work properly
