Challenge: Free Study 2009-12 (Advanced Editing VII) Camera: Canon EOS-40D Lens: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS Location: Marsh Date: Dec 27, 2009 Aperture: f/6.3 ISO: 400 Shutter: 1/8000 Galleries: Birds Date Uploaded: Dec 31, 2009 Add photograph to your favorites Add photographer to your favorites	I was shooting for the Birds challenge and the best birding opportunities were into the light. So I went with that. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this and my other challenge entry were received. I have to admit that the bokeh on this shot was what made me enter it in the FS challenge. Thanks for all of the nice comments!

Too cool - sort of looks like glass with that riot of bokeh. Love the title, too.
