Support. I would suggest, however, editing the caption to something a little more formal in style. Clegs (talk) 23:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Great shot, perfect exposure. Would prefer to not have the other wasp in the corner, but its rare to get everything right. :-) Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 23:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very nice capture. Yeah, the wasp in the corner is stealing a bit of the limelight, but can't be helped. Capital photographer (talk) 13:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support I wish the other wasp wasn't there, but otherwise, it's a nice image. Spencer^T♦^C 01:00, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
