Now that's a macro lens

Very neat shot. Looks like the whites are a little over the top but very nice as is. I like the pose of the left hand wasp, as if it were the Foreman

Very nice. The blown out background is great. The left hand wasp is buzzing her wings, probably to cool the nest.

Very interesting composition with the way that the nest comes from the top at an angle. I love the poses of the two wasps. Excellent detail and sharpness on the insects, which can be very hard to achieve. I know I spent some of the summer months trying to get good wasp photos. There do seem to be a few hot spots on the nest, but sometimes that happens. Overall, a very good shot!
