Macro Photo Competition 2015 No 4 : Entry Number 54

Judges Comment

A beautiful image which out of the ordinary , the composition is very good, the only criticism I could make this image is too dark back plan and that the bee is not on the same level of sharpness that the wasp. But it is a very beautiful image .

Photographers Comment

I’m very happy about that honor - thanks a lot to the judge! My name is Annelie Henn. My focus of interest are macro photographs of wasps, ants, spiders and other arthropods with a lack of reputation in the general public, hoping to supply them with the respect they really deserve. By the way - wasps, if treated decently, are among the nicest and least aggressive models you can imagine. The picture was taken in my garden near Trier, Germany, using a Canon 7D Mark II with a Canon 100 mm/2,8 L Macro IS USM. Post processing: LR5, no PS.
