Re: ugly lines around flowers and branches

May I ask what filter you were using ?

My guess is that it may be a cheap CPL. There have been many threads here displaying some very strange bokeh artifacts when using cheap filters. There was a long thread a couple of years ago about this type of thing on a Canon 100-400L ii, which is an outstanding lens. The person removed the $30 filter and the issue vanished.

I have to say though that these photos just don't look right (apart from the strange lines) - they don't look like normal shallow DoF shots, but rather like areas have been deliberately blurred out using PP - quite odd.
