These were done using 2 pics. Clone sharp part of the rear part to the pic with sharp eyes to create overall greater DOF.

#6: Yellow Ladybird.


#7: With Red BG

Hotshoe flash using homemade diffuser, corrugated white plastic sheet. Handheld flash is the omnibounce diffuser.

Hi, #1 seems to be a braconid wasp (Family: Braconidae), but need a close up of the wings to be sure. #2, I am working on it. Hard to tell from just a face shot. Nice pics as always.
