A good combinations of colors and an interesting background for this subject matter. Nicely done!
VZ: "...an interesting background for this subject matter." Wow. I'd never describe a newspaper in such an eloquent way, Martin.
I'm impressed both by the quality of this picture and the fact that you had a camera to hand whilst reading your morning paper.
VZ: Hope that's not the only way I can make an impression on people, Bill.
A funny rhymed poem, a nice original motif, and the "fearles", well armed "wasp" is here the "Photo-King"! Please don't expect that I'll continue your/the newspaper- sentence, I don't like to pick a quarrel early in the morning, my female weapons I have put down, the man should put down his arms too, for the wasp is an innocent, peaceful creature never disturbing or aggressive if never provoced or attacked by...
VZ: Yep. We have plenty of wasps in our garden, Philine, and I can testify, we coexist in a perpetual peace.
"Judging by physiognomy, we can easily guarantee that a man will never produce an immortal work; but not that he will never commit a great crime."
Arthur Schopenhauer
VZ: Reading Schopenhauer's message brought by a wasp early in the morning gives me a headache, Mike.
Richly evocative image, Maestro.
Your wasp, it seems, reads with its bum....can the paper be open at the "politics" pages?
VZ: Hahaha. You guessed it, Ray. Most people start their newspaper with sport pages. I start with politics.
Oh my gosh! This reminds me of that movie, The Bee. Scary :O
VZ: I've never seen The Bee movie, but then, I was never scared of bees. Just opposite, I love them.
Great Macro. What eyes! Sorry I can't trot out a bit of appropriate Schopenhauer this afternoon!
VZ: Well, if not Schopenhauer, maybe something from Ortega Y Gasset's philosophy? Some men will never... belong to an intellectual elite, for example.
A good macro, but is it real?
VZ: As real as my typing to you this minute, Nig.
I'm afraid your name is not Nig, but Thomas, Nig.
......pick up the sports-paper and hit this wasp over the head with it...before taken this excellent picture.... Viktor I love this macro., love the colors...did you share your coffee with him???
VZ: I can't hit it over the head. It's a God's creature, Astrid, and got to be respected as such. No coffee for them, but we do share the sweets when we have lunch or dinner on the porch.
Very crisp, he almost looks plastic! Very nice shot
VZ: No plastics are accepted, Kelly. This guy is as real as you and me.
What an unusual colour for a wasp, ours are bright yellow and black. Love the detail
VZ: We do have the bright yellow and black variety as well, Ellie. We call them Yellow Jackets. Those are ferocious fighters. No wonder GA Tech football team (American football) call themselves Yellow Jackets.
Blackdog, I knew that Arthur Schopenhauer has been a misanthrop, probably caused by bad experience; he is notorious for his very hostile words about women and I have to say a man (like him) will never understand them! http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Of_Women
Great macro shot, the wasp is fantastic and you have also captured "Moire" in the bottom of the picture in the printing. Really good shot. :o) John
VZ: Thanks John. I haven't thought that moire would contribute to the overall quality of the picture. I'm glad it did.
fly,
if he can't dream.
VZ: ...or sail.
i love this photo, it looks so real i got scared
love your macro shots
VZ: If you like macro, Mariam, buy yourself a macro lens. You'll discover a whole new world, dear.
I've shot a wasp having her breakfast on my marmelade during holidays. When I see your's reading yours newspaper, I thing we have stranges friends sharing our mornings
VZ: shame on you, France, as yours is not so good.
