What is bokeh?

My version
I used bokeh on this as I had no option for moving the subject and didn't want the distracting background.

fixed 50mm f1.8

Judging from the description ... i would expect that steven had his foot through the floor re ISO & that can do strange things to a photo & if im correct then i think he has done an excellent job with it. If its around the 3200 then well done to ditch the noise.

StevenV · January 31, 2008

yea, most of the time I'm shooting iso1600 (it's only a 10D) and f2.8
to get anything useful... and Noiseware is my friend

Here is my offering to the OOF crowd.

The best explanation for me are all of the visual examples.

soooo... Is this one 'bokeh' enough?

For me it looks good with a very shallow depth of field.:D
