Woo hoo! Great close-up! Great colors and resolution. Love it, Ginger.
Ginger Barritt replied
Hey! I wish you could have seen me, Lori…I’m really afraid of wasps in general…hornets in particular!

Darren Post
Super macro shot Ginger… :-)
I think we’re all a bit jumpy when these guys dissapear from view.
Ginger Barritt replied
Yep! I have always had a fear of wasp and such…a hornet actually was the first critter to sting me long ago!!!
Nala
What a lvoely shot and wat a beast . . . mmmm i am sure he could hurt . . . . . even looking so lovley he is a big bad boy
Ginger Barritt replied
Yep…gives me a literal shiver….they are so pretty though
Nala
I am sure you will be safe so no need to shiver :-)
Ginger Barritt replied
LOL! I’m less afraid of ghosts than I am things that sting….
Nala
Well i think that sounds like the best policy . . . lol so its sit down and tell nice tales then lol

BlairCathcart

Ginger Barritt replied
Thank you! I have a really good canon 100 mm macro, but I’m not very reliable yet….
Jonathan Bartlett
I wouldn’t say that Ginger. For being self taught and with a new Macro lens..That is an awesome shot. I just got a new 90mm Tamron Macro lens today, but haven’t had a chance to do much with it.
Again, very cool image.
Ginger Barritt replied
Well Jonathan, it looks as if I completely ignored you for 2 months…I apologize…I don’t know how I missed your comment….But Thank you…I still stink at macros LOL I hear that Tamron is an awesome lens….I’m going to go check your site out!
Wendy Slee
this is a fine shot….so much detail! And what a striking figure he is on that beautiful flower…....though would hate to have him land on me!!!
Ginger Barritt replied
Hornets are one of the scariest of the stingy group!!!!
cherylc1

Ginger Barritt replied
Thank you, sweetie!
amarica
Superb macro…you are braver than I am Ginger. These guys scare me…hugzzzz
Ginger Barritt replied
Ann, I wish you could have seen the whole picture taking session…I’d sneak over there….snap a few ….the whole time making a strange whiny keening noise….then I have to run back to the door.!!!!
Jonathan Bartlett
Haha. It’s alright Ginger. Don’t worry about it!
georgiegirl
The only thing that comes to mind is…. WOW!!! Wasps and hornets are beautiful but not very friendly.

Nice work Ginger!! What lens did you get?? I love Hornets : ))
Ginger Barritt replied
I still have the cannon …...phewie…I can’t remember what it’s called! I have been practicing though…..I guess my big problem is I’m not patient enough to use a tripod….this one was…..and I need to back up a bit and zoom in….I’m learning!!!
Marleia Main
Well I think it looks great!! Good work lady : ))
Ginger Barritt replied
Thank you, you are an inspiration!!!
