Very nice picture! I've gone out on cold days only to no avail in finding any suitable models. Lucky find! Though it does bug me a bit seeing the right two lower legs out of focus, if it stayed till longer I would suggest focus stacking. But these guys are fast, don't like to keep still. Superb backround. Is bright enough but not bright enough that it draws away the viewers focus from the wasp. Also, the exact species of  Vespula is Vespula Vulgaris (Common Wasp)

hello and thank you for the nice comments. I’m glad you like the image. 

This is actually Vespula Squamosa (southern wasp/Yellowjacket). Wasps are typically identified by the markings on their back, but they can’t be seen well enough in the image here.
