    Nice colours, and composition, but it is out of focus. You need to have your main focal point sharp for this type of shot to work, in this instance I would guess that the wasp was your main focal point, you probably needed a faster shutter speed to freeze the movement of the wasp. A good attempt though :)

    thanks for that I see what you mean about shutter speed and focusing on the wasp:)

    I like it. Nice shot. The shutter speed doesn't seem to be a problem. The DoF is very narrow and thus focus is not spot on due to the little critter moving so fast after attaining focus and shutter being released. But it's not too far off either.

    Would that not indicate that the shutter speed was not fast enough to freeze the movement?

    @KitKat......what where your camera settings as a matter of interest? and the focal length of the lens.

    Well, can you see any evidence of movement on the wasp? Take for example the wings. How fast do they move? How many beats per second? Do they look very blurred? The leg on the bottom looks sharp enough.

    It is soft, even the leg, the sharpest part is the flower above the wasp to my eyes anyway...which leave a lot to be desired :)
    Anyway I dont want to make KitKat feel bad about the shot, that was just my opinion of the shot. Look forward to the camera settings!

    So what you are saying is you can see motion blur, probably due to slow shutter speed, is that correct?

    Its a very difficult shot to get as the wasp moves extremely fast from flower to flower....an easier shot would be the wasp resting on the flower. Thanks for the replies its great to get c and c in order to learn and improve.

    the shutter speed was 1/1000

    I agree with you, it is an extremely difficult shot to get and at 1/1000s it should have been sharp, but as the venerable mr Oshead has pointed out depth of field is important also as is focusing, just as a matter of interest what was the aperture and focal length?
