Thanks for your replies to my posting; I originally intended to post more information on how this picture was made but got side tracked looking for other files that somehow migrated out of my lightroom catalog that I needed to find and print for a Public Meeting that evening on behalf of our local watershed assoc.in opposition to a land swap to a none environmental public agency. I wish that I could make you an open panorama but I live in a 40 mile long east west narrow valley(no wider than 2 miles at any point) the creek at the base of the valley is a freestone cold water fishery and acts act as a tributary to the Susquehanna river. I have been mostly house bound all winter after 3 major bariatric surgeries and an almost 2 month hospital stay(Nov 11 to Dec 29) . I have my camera (Canon 1DX- 400mm2.8 mk2 set up inside the breakfast room and I am shooting through Pella E Glass panels(they are coated) and seem to create weird horizontal "ropey" bokeh. Slabodian what you are seeing are multiflora shoots and branches that grow out of the inside edges of our pond(frozen and snowed over),that is either snow or rime frost coated in the middle of the branch leaving 2 dark edges and distorted by the bad bokeh. Note that the branches on the other side of this hen turkey are also snow covered but on their upper side. I'll post a few more of my wild life pics so you can dissect the weird bokeh.
