IRAS 16069-4858 is a fairly small and dim ionized region located just up from the centre of the image. It measures about 6.1' X 2.0' across.
The star near the top, and located on the ionized structure is TYC 8319-650-1. Just below that is a little crescent structure G332.9565+01.8035 1 which is a young stellar object candidate. To find it, look for a small dark area with a horizontal line running through it..

Personally, I like the lower left part of the image. With a bit of imagination and our friend pareidolia, I picture something that resembles a sea gull taking flight to get away from that angry ionised region in space.
