A shot taken some weeks ago when the rudbeckia still flowered in profusion, on a serene summer's day.

Delightful image, Ian, with a happy summer feel. Nicely composed and perfect dof for the bee and flower. I like the way the flower fills most of the frame and is nicely angled; the bee is in excellent position. :toast:

Very nice post Ian,
I second Scott's comments and will add that the colors and BG are also excellent.
Well Done . . . :toast:
