Mohammad Darvish from Tehran, Iran

Really nice macro and I saw the iso is 4000 ... very interesting but would you please tell why you choose this iso?

@Mohammad Darvish: Well because i was hand holding it at F/10 and it wasn't very light so i had to crank the iso up to give me more light. I didn't want to lower the F stop because even more would have been out of focus, cheers

I think your title is a bit of an understatement, Alun... At least you had a subject that was not likely to resist. (This all makes me think of the dead parrot sketch -- although it's obviouly not a Norwegian Blue...) Nicely caught, then!

@Andrew Gould: This was very sad, i got my hands on a macro lens and had to shoot something, This is all i could find, So yes this wasp is deceased haha.
