Description
I've had a number of in-your-face encounters with our latest batch of Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds here in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. As the birds have become more comfortable with me this Spring and Summer they've come closer and closer, allowing me to capture some nicely detailed in-flight closeups. This digitally altered square format early-evening portrait is my fanciful interpretation of what one of those close encounters might look like from inside the camera.

Love it, and I imagine this is definitely what it would look like from inside the lens!

Thanks Jai! It was a cool shot to start with, but something about it kept prompting me to do something unusual. ;)
