Sometimes it is possible to turn a photographic bobble into a usable image. Such is the case with this digital art creation that started out as an accident - I bumped the tripod during a long duration exposure. Photoshop came to the rescue by allowing me to produce this odd looking bird, a BOB, or Big Obvious Bird in the Bird Identification Simplified* classification system.
Location/Date: Garden of Lights Show in Brookside Gardens, Wheaton, MD, November 16, 2007.
[Nikon D200, Nikkor 24-120mm VR @ 112mm, 0.4s, f/5.6, iso 800, tripod (bumped)
*Bird Identification Simplified:
LBJs = little brown jobs - like a sparrow or wren
BOBs = big obvious birds - like an eagle or goose
TVs = turkey vultures - also black vultures and all other not-so-handsome BOBs

VERY NICE. It looks like "Birdzilla," towering above an army of regular birds.
