Mating wasps

[Coryman]

On the same bush as the bees in the last post were this pair of wasps (well I think they are wasps) were busy doing what comes naturally.

A bit in shadow Ian - might get some more detail with the shadow/highlight tool

Re: Mating wasps

Thanks for the suggestion Stan, will have a look at reducing the shadow.

Good, clean shot, Ian, even if x rated!

I've been playing with curves in lightroom to bring out the blacks rather than use the shadow tool as it seems to give more control and less noise. Might be worth a try.

Like Stan, you're doing better than me with the 100 macro.

Re: Mating wasps

I have had a little play with the image in Lightroom 5, not sure if it has made much of a difference though.

I prefer the first one .... maybe sometimes a little shadow adds a bit of mystique ... imho.

Yes, Wayne's right, first is better
