This is just a test shot, but I was happy with the capability.

A moderate crop

A severe crop:

The severe crop was made by cropping the low res jpeg crop:

Obviously not doing the job you want it to do if you have to (yet
again) crop your images. The second image of the two is sh*t, why
bother posting it? Bin it.

I have to agree. I don’t see the point of cropping from a low res jpeg.
The
result is going to to be messy, and this one is particularly bad.

What were you trying to do?

If you wanted a tight crop you should have done that to the RAW file in LR,
or the converted RAW in PS, but never to a JPEG.

From the PSD. I think it's about 50% too heavy.

Well, …er, OK. That is at least better than that messy JPEG crop, but as an
example of a good macro shot it still leaves much to be desired. I would
start with the focus on your alleged subject, the wasp. This is one of those
times where things didn’t come together to give you the perfect shot.
…and I am sure the wasp wasn’t cooperating.
