Can you crop it tighter so we can see it better?

Looks very sharp at the size posted. No EXIF so can't see your settings, but you clearly had a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the body, and the blurred flutter of wings is arguably more interesting than freezing them. Still, it is really only the wasp that's of interest so a tighter crop's a reasonable suggestion, assuming you've got the megapixels left to do so. Cheers, Tony

While it's neat that you captured a relatively sharp in-flight shot of the wasp the setting is less than ideal. As it is, not in a more natural setting, it is nothing more than a good documentary shot.

Ask yourself if you'd frame this in your house or if someone would be willing to pay for it. You'd probably have to say no.

Same here. Not sure if the 100% shown was just to show sharpness (which is staggeringly good!). Definitely for final usage the crop should include the shadow, and put more space in front than behind.
