As a macro enthusiast I just love this creation. Appreciate it's not a photograph, (or I dont think it is) but the attention to detail is absolutely stunning. Very well done

Annie, wow, love your work on this one. Very well composed, framed and with bright colors for a top of the line work. Best wishes on the contest.

That is so cool. I really wish I had the flood filter that you use in PS. It's such a beautiful effect. Love the colors and tone of the wasp.

Oh my gosh! I love this! How did you get those colors to look so good like this? Can you give me settings and what software you used for this effect? This is really a good one avmurray.

Beautifully done Annie right down to the detail of the last ripple reflection in the water. A truly excellent work of perfection.

This is magnificent Annie. The colors, the content, what a wonderful thing to view. Initial impact is so powerful, I find myself speechless. All the way down to the reflection. Just perfect.

She takes pictures, she paints too! WOW!! some talent! Looks almost comical, like a illustration for a childs book..I say that in a GOOD way, as he seems to have attitude! the reflection is dead on and done with a nice even hand, and looks real. Donkeyoatey

    Thank you very much for the lovely review. I actually painted before I started to take photographs.
Comment from Geokat


Avmurray, this is a fantastic photograph of this wasp. I don't think I have ever seen such brilliant color and distinct detail in another shot. The focus is spot on perfect and even the reflection in the water is amazing. Was he resting, getting a drink, or in trouble?

    I am of course thrilled that you like it, but this is not a photo but a digital painting.

    So continue to be thrilled. It is truly a magnificent masterpiece.

This is a superb piece. I think your forte is though slightly fantasy like treatments of various different subjects. The composition and detail are incredible. I love the reflection and the very convincing way that you have done the water. Very well done.
