This is an older photo that I played around with in photoshop. It was taken in a marsh right behind a beach north of Mendocino.

The ghosting/flare or whatever it is certainly adds to the composition. Well done!

I like it Todd. It reminds me of the many times I have come across Blackbirds in a field or Marsh. Strikes a cord... good work!

Like the fact there's still a hint of detail left in the bird and great bokeh too.
