I went into a sunflower field just outside the city and saw this bee, thorax deep in pollen dust.

I stuck my camera right up to the bee and snapped several shots, angering the bee. She menaced me but didn't sting, and I got a shot that I liked.

Since bees are stereotypically "industrious", I thought this picture might be a perfect fit for "Industry."

This is a great let down. I was hoping this one would do quite well, possibly top 10 at least.

Not a bad shot but seems like a shoehorn for the challenge...

A different idea,well done.

Interesting idea. Made me someone rethink what "Industrial" means. In fact, I did a dictionary look up, and I found that it does seem to require a commercial aspect. Thus, I have to vote it down due to that.

But I do like the great amount of details you captured here. This is a very nice photo.

i like it but my eyes are drawn to the heavy yellow on the left too much.
