That background has bokeh any way you look at it, simply because it is out of focus. The fact that it is distracting doesn't actually relate to the character of the out of focus area, and in fact the bokeh isn't bad at all.
In the vaguest sense, the picture has bokeh, but the picture's subject becomes the group of out-of-focus people, not the thing in front that becomes an interruption, not the subject. One feels looking at it like paraphrasing Lady Macbeth:
Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!

DIY people, Mechanics and Computer Tech people all have a saying that goes:
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is!!!
That might actually work with Bokeh?
If it ain't Bokeh, fix it until it is!!! :thumbup:

Didn't realize that I would have created this big of a stir!!
But . . . if it ain't Bokeh . . .

Bokeh--the word makes me want to vomit--doesn't really mean "simply out of focus" Rather that there is a balance of light and dark interplay--which is indeed out of focus--but doesn't call attention to itself or compete with you image--a picture can only say one thing.

The word itself will do me Stan...writing your description down to explain it would take too much time... :lol: :lol: :lol:
We call a car a car, not a squarish box with four wheels and an inbuilt motor so it can transport us down the road... :lol:
Bokeh is the term used in photography just like filter, lens, focus, etc, etc...
Bokeh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh
In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".
‎Catadioptric system - ‎Bokode - ‎Faux - ‎Soft focus

[quote=SqBear]SX2002, what is the distance from the camera to the bird?
And what was the aperture setting?
Were you in "A" setting on the camera or "M"?
In this instance I was in Auto, the cormorant was probably about 20-30 meters away..the "Bokeh" is the natural landscape behind the bird, about another 50-70 meters behind...

Don't forget to throw in the lens engineer's term "Defocus" which is an internal adjustment that lenses have - and two of them, the Nikkor 105mm F2 DC and 135mm F2 DC both have that adjustment on the outside, for creative control over the out of focus areas.
DC stands for Defocus Control - :)

Bokeh,shmokeh. Out of focus is out of focus. Stop giving it a fancy name and thinking it's arty. (Out of focus can be useful occasionally.)
You're quite wrong. There is one way to be in focus but there are a thousand ways to be out of focus, some good, some bad.
