This is a beautiful image of a tiny solitary wasp. They hardly ever keep still, which makes it so hard to get such a sharp picture. The negative space showcases the wasp, instead of overwhelming it. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

This is a wonderful portrait of a paper wasp. The colors are very appealing and the image proves that tack-sharp, expressive and beautful close-ups are possible with living wasps. Provided you have the patience, the skill and the love, that is.

If I had two first places to give away, this picture would surely be one of them. It is exactly what I was looking for: an image showing how wasps live. Catching it in action in such a clear and detailed way demands great technical skill. Congratulations.

This picture has such amazing detail. It is enhanced by the white background, which really concentrates the eyes on the insect. A feast for the eyes of all wasp-lovers. A very, very minor quibble: it's a potter wasp, no paper wasp.
