Thanks Shawn. It was actually forced on me by the way I had to shoot it... see how it looks a little fuzzy in places in front of the bird? The low dof not only killed the background, it's also what allowed me not to show the mesh in the foreground. The bird was maybe 10, 15 feet away & I was shooting thru heavy mesh, so it let me make it effectively "invisible" aside from some ghosting.
