that's close, well done

You're brave. Just how close did you get to this wasp?

I used the reverse ring method and used a 50mm reversed on a 100mm lens. I was about an inch away from my subject.

Crystal clear, to the point that, although it's about something unpleasant, it looks nice. Well done, author

I missed whatever comment you are referring to jerostone but in any case, thank you very much!!!

Author, all I wanted to say is that, even though there is nothing nice about skin afflictions, you've managed through photography to make this particular one look considerably good, and then again only IMHO, as it takes tons of photographic experience, also a keen eye for one to judge images of this kind.

I agree 100%, not at all an attractive photograph for sure. I was going for something you may see on a medical website or book to identify an ant bite.
Thanks again for your support and encouragement!

I think I may have been confused...were you saying the photo was crystal clear or were you replying to member Crystal Clear? LOL I thought maybe she placed a comment and then deleted it. That may be why my first comment was confusing to you. HEEHEE!

I never knew a contestant going by that name, i.e. Crystal Clear, was around, so it makes good sense that I never made the connection. Good luck with your entry

Good luck author! Wow what can an Ant do!
