First walk with my new K20 to test it with DA*300 and DA*50-135.
Both with DA*300.

In my taste, it could have been done with a tad more DOF.....just f6 or f8 to still keep the blur.

BUT! Its a fine example of a very nice Bokeh expression shot!

Thumbs up!

This DA* have a very nice bokeh i think! I have the 50-135 and love what that lens does with backgrounds.

This is where physically controlling the background might help.
f/4 gives too thin a DoF to appreciate the subject so you need to stop down. To avoid the distracting grass (I believe you mean), you may need to physically press down the grass to avoid it getting in the frame and pointing the camera more upwards from a lower perspective to achieve this.

Thank you Ash, sometimes my English is not very good, and yes you are right.
