Obviously 'bokeh'or DOF or Depth of field has nothing to to with reality, as the human eye doesn't perceive objects in that way. It is an strained attempt to turn a photographic bug into an advantage, an artistic effect that is most overused and tiresome, as bagginsbill has demonstrated. Unfortunately for them (the photographers) most people don't like 'bokeh' or whatever you call it. Serves only to prove that taste and style is more important than any technical knowledge.
