Hi Dawid,
It is a 100% crop. I was surprised at the look of the flower parts. The
edges of the plant components are soft, so perhaps that caused it. I went
to B&W so that the colors would not overpower the wasp image. I focused on
the wasp, and the plant parts are further away, so perhaps it is just OOF
blur.
Your image seems a little OOF to my eye. I get a lot of those between the
few sharp ones of insects.
