Why is this happening?

The more I look at it it seems to be that whitish glob in the middle causing it, almost like exhaust fumes heavier at the glob, tapering off into the bushes. Could there been a small shiny boat moving away, catching the sun glare?

I checked the box for 'store image' after adding the photo. I guess I can't do that now. I did put most of the EXIF data in my description.
You have to click "store" before clicking Add Attachment. And yes you gave EXIF data - it was a general statement to all.

Okay my last guess... was it Big Foot emerging from the brush with a bluish funk surrounding him? When zooming in I see brown fur behind leaves.no boat
Seriously, why I preview important shots, take doubles, etc. Sometimes I just expect a WTF photo to happen. Hopefully you have a similar, better pic.

I should take several shots and it looked good on the LCD screen.

maybe shooting into the bright lite cause this , seen this before , different kind of lens flare .next time put your hand over the top of lens , and see if this goes away .

It appears to be lens flare caused by the bright sky. The sun does not need to be in the photograph. The sky is a bright enough light source when contrasted with the deep shadows of the trees across the water.

I'm guessing that something in that washed out sky (maybe an aircraft flyby) is reflecting the sun directly back at your camera like a mirror. The bluish, hazy area of your complaint is round like a lens flare would be.

This is completely off topic:
What percentage of your P900 shots are taken at full zoom?

Taken with a Nikon P900 near the West coast of Florida on a nice sunny day with the sun behind my left shoulder at 9:15 am on 12/2/17. ISO 400, 35mm (film equivalent), f8, 1/40, spot meter, auto white balance, set on Manual with AF using a tripod, VR off, unprocessed. I have seen this in very few of my photos. What happened and how can I stop this from happening in the future. Thanks for your help, Paul
Looks like an internal reflection inside the lens to me. Could be there is an angle where the sun hits something just right and produces a reflection off the inside of the barrel. Did you use a hood ? Where was the sun in relation to the unaffected photos ?

I would have lowed my ISO and increased SS. This would bring deifnition in the sky. I also would use a CPL. You said the sun was behind you so the image is front lit. Front light landscapes can creat some artifacts in the image. The CPL would help eliminate those artificts to managible levels.

Are you using a circular polarizing filter? Try bringing down the ISO to 100. Also, are you using a lens hood? If not, that may help cut some of the flare.
Can't use a CP on this camera. It's a bridge camera with a lens that isn't removable nor does it have threads for a filter.

Looks like it could be blue exhaust from the boat that was traveling on that line and is still seen in the distance? The “problem” may have absolutely nothing to do with your camera or exposure. Indeed, the camera may have captured the shot perfectly?!

I was fooling around with an adjustible polarizing filter - overcast sky but some showing. At extinction part of the sky took on a bluish cast in one place. Similar to yours.
