Phil's Place, Welcome

Enviably sharp, good DoF with important foreground, crop of left side is almost forgivable. Better than an attempt, well done.

Very well done! Maybe the lighting is a little harsh I think.

Oh, and by the way - as Tunedout subtly points out - it's not a wasp, but a kind of hoverfly. Perfectly harmless. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hover_flies

Hover Fly or Wasp, It is a beautiful photo. The colors and clarity are great. Great macro shot. What kind of flower is this?
