To me, http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/157064816 has some 'ugly' bokeh 
on the LHS, the leaves on the left of the tree in 
http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/157064826 have 'nervous' bokeh...

To me 'bokeh' is something where the OOF make pleasant shapes rather than 
harsh or misshapen e.g.

PESO:

I took 3 photos this morning to try to illustrate what bokeh is, in answer
to a question from a beginning photographer.  I used the 35/2.0 (king of
bokeh) Summicron.

What do you think?  Do these illustrate bokeh?  What else would you suggest
to help her understand bokeh?

TIA
