Comment by Imagineer:
Poor fella - even though it's a wasp! Good angle and shows the familiar problem their sweet tooth gets them into. Image lacks a bit of interest apart form the wasp though. [6]

Comment by kyrielle:
At first glance, this seems to be more outside looking in, but perhaps the bee (hornet?) is simply looking out the side. I'm not sure I like the top-down approach in this case, as it emphasizes the "outside" part rather than inside. On the other hand, it does avoid any potential distractions that may have been nearby.

Aww, poor little beasty. Interesting snap. However, the thick glass has prevented some light from getting into the glass and onto the main subject. The insect is beautiful with it's vibrant colors. Perhaps a closer shot of the insect w/o chopping off its legs with the lip of the far and more light on the chutney? Well done, Good try =)

Comment by moodville:
The symmetry of the glass is interesting, and I like that it was just the half and not the full glass in the shot. It certainly meets the challenge. I'm kind of mixed between liking this and not liking it. Part of me sees it as an interesting way to frame a bug shot, the other part sees it as a snapshot of something you see every summer. Perhaps if there was more detail/closer on the bug (as in a smaller container) then it wouldnt be as hard. Then again it doesnt really look like it was a staged shot either.

interesting response to challenge - I wish the wasp stood out more but the framing is good and I can feel the stickiness

Some good detail. Would have been great if you could get the prominent bolt in the top right a bit more in focus.
