Very nice, though I have no idea what a chihuly bowl is.......:)
I haven't posted here lately, so here's one from my favorite "walk around" macro lens. The Sigma 70. |

An old one from my gallery, that I never posted here.
Shot with a K200 and the FA 50
More bokeh than you can shake a stick at.

A little show of bokeh from the under appreciated Super Tak 135 3.5.
Just don't ask me what the F stop was. |

Thanks, I was going for the starburst at the end of the drop and got a lot more than I bargained for.
Even the smooth stuff, can sometimes use a little suggested detail. ---------- Post added 07-22-14 at 09:58 PM ----------
Thanks, I have nothing against the smooth stuff though, as it can sometimes isolate your subject to the point of giving it a 3D look. |

Not all bokeh needs to be so smooth that it lacks any detail...........:)
This one from the M 50 macro.

I sometimes find it amazing the kind of colorful bokeh the city can provide.
This one from my M42 200 F4 |

With my new to me M 50 macro.
This orchid is quite small and I almost missed it entirely.
It demonstrates to me how very sharp this old lens is, and puts to rest my trepidation about it's bokeh, which was not considered it's best feature in the reviews.
I vote that it has fine bokeh...................:)

Thanks. When the technique works, I find the painterly quality of the bokeh captivating.
And sometimes, when it's too windy for deeper DOF, it's the only technique that can get results, as it lends itself to large apertures.
