First of all Flavio, these are two beautiful photographs, the colours and detail are so good. Both are great composition but if I had to pick, I would say the second one just has the edge. I love the contrast with the lovely blue sky. Excellent work my friend.

2 great shots Flavio - people more critical than me would probably prefer the second purely because it's not as busy. I prefer the second anyway

Two good shots Flavio, Very clear, if I had to choose it would be the first one.

Two superb images, that must be a big flower or you were laying in the flower bed. I'm with Mr Beach with my suggestion, first one with bottom left cloned out or cropped up a bit from the bottom.

The first one has the reflecting light on the leaf, lower left, taking it out will help. however the red flower and the stem, on the lower right still takes your eye away from the wasp.
Your second shot is the wasp in motion, definitely my choice.

Great Post Flavio! Both Photos are well composed and your focus and dof are very outstanding. I'd use the 1st and clone out the bottom.
Thanks for Sharing these

I like both shots, but prefer the first one (same cloining as mentioned previously )

Great shots Flavio. They are both fantastic but visually, I prefer the first. The colors are amazing and I even like the yellow jacket better. Did I just say I like a yellow jacket, YIKES!!!
