TINA MY DEAR LADY,
BOKEH? If I could see it I might have a comment about it! I don't see it? 
Therefore I do have a comment! :-) 

What I see is a beautiful baby son and proud father. A quiet moment.

There isn't any bokeh simply because the "CONTENT IS SO STRONG WHAT THE HELL 
IS THE POINT OF LOOKING AT THE BACKGROUND?"

Tina if unfortunately you see this affliction in one of your photographs and 
you might feel strongly about it?   "do not point it out to anyone!" 

What they don't really know anything about? Nor is smacking the viewer in 
the face off the screen, isn't going to hurt them! Besides they don't need 
to be made aware this affliction is nothing more than softly out of focus 
background due to a certain lens of some kind! :-) :-) 

Besides there are some here who are so paranoid over the OOF background you 
can almost hear them peeing their pants over the situation! Best advice for 
them? SELL THE LENS AND GET ONE THAT DOESN'T DO IT!

You see that's called "KISS" problem solving! That is if one has a problem 
with an OOF background. ERGO: Bokeh!

I never knew there was an affliction called bokeh I suppose for 50 or more 
years, until I joined the LUG. At first I thought they, "The bokehittes" 
were talking about a Japanese dinner I hadn't enjoyed? 

Finally someone pointed it out in what I always thought was one of my long 
time neat photos and I near peed myself laughing at the idiocy of what it 
was. NOTHING MORE THAN AN OUT OF FOCUS BACKGROUND! Big deal get over it! :-) 
It can be an absolutely magical effect!

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
