This is an absolutely stunning shot, and you are really brave for getting so close to a wasp nest! The Canon 100mm Macro lens it is such a great lens, I love mine too.

Thank you, Rosalie! I took the picture early in the morning when they are still fairly lethargic. It reduces the risk somewhat. Later in the day they are quite aggressive and take a menacing posture by aligning their stings in the direction of the perceived threat.

Hunting at Sunset

Sitting at a waterhole at last light, he suddenly appeared and started walking towards a heard of impala. Very little time to get the shot and the long grass made focusing extremely tricky.

Anje, while the themes might feel a bit clichéd, they are wonderful! There’s great potential to improve the mood by enhancing contrast, clarity, darkening the overall exposure, and dodging some of your subject’s features. Perhaps even a soft vignette to focus the eye on your subject.They both deserve features, but I’d love to…Read More

Renate, it’s crucial for photographers to frequently revisit their older work. Firstly, to gauge your growth, and sometimes, after a fresh edit or crop, you might realise you had a gem like this macro shot all along! Congratulations on your feature!
