Hi everyone!

I took a lot of pictures of the wasps on the lavender in a backyard of friends in Australia.
This is one of the photo's. I didn't bring my tripod and that's why I couldn't get them really sharp. But I still like the photo. I did some cropping. Hope you like it!

Regards,
Annelies

Hi Annalies,
A nice try for capturing the scene, but unfortunately this macro is not that successful. Only the right waspm is in focus, all the other parts are blurred, they should be a bit sharper. Perhaps another DOF and better focus would have helped. But a good try and keep trying, you will surely have a better result! :)
Best wishes,
Kristof

Hi Annelies
This looks like a bee not a wasp, as wasps don't collect pollen.
I agree with Kristof..the macro did not work that well, with the bee in the foreground being out of focus.

I have done a quick WS for you.

Regards Tracey
