I've been sitting on this one for a while now, I can't tell if I love it or hate it because of the weird bokeh. Nikon D300 with Sigma 70-200 at probably 2.8 because I didn't know any better

The bad bokeh seems to be a mottled leaf. The lemur's fur down below its face gives a better idea of bokeh rendition by the lens.

Breakfast bokeh

Bacon and eggs with the Hasselblad HV (aka Sony a99) and adapted lens Mamiya-C 645 55mm f 2.8. This is a very nice medium format 55mm lens.

I like how the wood frames the lemur's face, and how it peers around the board adds a little playfulness to the image. To me, there are a couple elements competing with the cute face peeking between the boards: one is the leaf at the top, and the other is the knot to the left. I feel removing those items would keep the attention on the little furry face. Maybe a 4x5 crop, starting from the bottom right corner, would get it. But that's just my opinion.

Oh, that is a lemur. I was thinking it was a strange looking dog.

my wife would love a lemur dog. Walks around the block would be a hopping good time.
