A wasp you see, but a moth I be

I see a bug, couldn't tell you if it was a wasp or a moth, I do see the eggs though! :)

An interesting shot overall but the post processing left some harsh lines around the edges an the body of the insect looks, I'm not sure how to describe it, very compressed I would say. Not very natural, almost like a plastic body with a regular head and wings. The focus of the shot seems more on the leaf than the bug and maybe it was tried to correct during post editing, I have no idea. But a nice capture overall, nice composition. A 5

The photo has a great impact on me. I like how the birds are heading in all directions. There appears to be something with the focus that makes it look like a photo that has been cropped or zoomed in with digital zoom - just not fully crisp. But I really like it.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Welcome to DPChallenge. This being your first challenge I feel it only fair to point out a few thing to help you in future challenges.

First off don't try to crop in on something small in a photo. You will end up with an image that looks very boxy, meaning you will have a very pixelated photo and see each little color box to your image when you try to make it larger. Which to me is probably what you did here.

Next try to get as close to 640 x 480 on your finished image everyone around here likes the larger sizes shows more detail.

Finally make sure your subject is in good focus. If the bird is your subject it should be in better focus.

Hope this helps you some in future challenges. And yeap I made the size mistake too in my first challenge. A lot of people do.

The birds are a bit underexposed for my taste.

I like the minimalism but to me this bird is just too soft

This is very grainy, perhaps work on your focus a bit.

Nice placement of bird, but shot is really out of focus and background looks almost fake.
