Bokeh

Not really sure, but the yellow/gold colors in the Bokeh pull your eyes away from the flowers. So, I would say it is bad. The flowers are somewhat dominated by there background.

The picture was taken to test bokeh. Here is a cropped version.

I would like to see the main subject higher in the frame. As a suggestion, get an art book on composition and study the "Rule of Thirds".

Hi Roger,
I think Boke has a lot to do with personal taste, I like the boke in your picture. Although it might me right that the eye is slightly pushed to the boke instead of to the subject. This boke itself is great!

And then after you study all the rules, break them everyonce in awhile. The shape of bokeh is fine, as for color, it does distract a bit.

It looks pretty good. It is soft and makes the background unobtrusive. The shapes blend nicely.
It is going to depend to an extent on the shapes in the background which you have thrown out of focus and their size and relative contrast. So if you had say a row of bright lightbulbs that you pushed out of focus, then you would get small bright areas which would never look unobtrusive.
It all boils down to what you find staisfactory and did you achieve the effect you were looking for?

My God! It's full of elephants.
The bokeh is fine but there is too much difinition of the backgound objects. Bokeh seems more relevent with softer backgronds...

Knowing the lens, then NO!
My copy has/had crappy bokeh. The bokeh circle was very defined on the outside edge. To me it almost seemed more defined on the sides than the top and bottom. That does not seem possible, but that's the way I felt about it.
