I do like this photo, but my eye keeps going to right side of the photo, could it perhaps do with a tighter crop?

Jason,

That's just a honey bee (I'm sure Geoff will correct me with the exact species), not a wasp.

I agree with Kerry on the tighter crop, and I'd also consider a rotation of either 180 or 90 degrees (that doesn't always work, but worth a look).

nope wasp,honey bee is much bigger,i think i know the difference between a wasp and a bee

[jason lyons]

thanks for the advise, noted .

I really need a close look at the wing veins to be sure but it looks very 'furry' for any wasp that I can think of.

Early worker honey bees can be quite small and there are a variety of fairly small early Andrena species of bees around now.

Hi
Must say it looks like a bee to me. I don't know of any species of wasp has that coloration and appearance that is native to the British Isles.
Perhaps you could enlighten us as to the species?

[jason lyons]

well maybe it is a honey bee then thanks .

Hey Jason - rather than trying a crop perhaps try a rotation and make it a portrait. You've got a lovely bokeh in that shot which I think with the right perspective will add to the photo rather than take away from your.... ah... winged critter

all i need to know is does it sting

[jason lyons]

yes im sure it would do
