Not quite sure what species of bumblebee this is, caught rounding the cone of a rudbeckia. A shot from last year.

I like the pano choice for this Ian, & the title fits as it makes its way around the 'cone' too..
Great view of the BB's face, he's sportin' a cool "Goatee"
Well done

The combination of yellow colors works very well here, Ian. I especially like the bee "peeking" around the edge.

Ian:
The take on the flower is flawless and I really like to see all the details. The bee adds interest to the image. Wish the bee was just a little more forward so that the eyes are as sharp as the cone structures. A very strong image.
