Great macro of this yellow jacket. Your focus is literally right on the nose.

yowza! scary shot - exquisite exposure and very good focus (but could have greater DOF to sharpen the eyes)

Fantastic detail, solid macro, good lighting. The colors could possibly use just a touch more saturation. I really like the reflection off the compound eyes.

Not into bugs but this is a great shot. I like the detail in his... er... face... and the tilted angle really conveys the way these critters can land on any surface. Interesting split-toned background too. DOF seems weird, it looks like there are two planes of focus which is impossible. Have you manually blurred any areas or am I just going mad? 8

Like a scene from 1960s Japanese horror movies :-).
