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.
