ThirdDesign Today #3 Bokeh?
Our Third (today) Post! Our topic BOKEH!
Since getting my d100 I have fallen in love with Bokeh in my photography. Bokeh is derived from Japanese, a noun boke 暈け, meaning “blurred or fuzzy” (Thats what good old wiki said… and they are without blemish.. so listen)
Here are a few examples..

This one with the tweezers is pretty cool.
Perhaps what I like about bokeh is somewhat different than what you are explaining through these pictures. The pictures you show are excellent.
The bokeh I like are ones that add clarity to the main subject as the background falls in an ethereal blur.
This is example of what I mean:
