I do like the bokeh. I suppose there may be occasions in which it is not very pleaseant or fitting, but at least for this shot I like it too.
Mtalseth,
Indeed it is Chicago. I had a picture of the whole skyline from there (not great mind you), but somehow my Raid 1 backup plan seems to have backfired and I may have lost 3 years worth of .cr2's
Learnmyshot,
Thanks, I will try that in the future, hopefully with different kinds of birds.
