Posted: Sun May 29, 2005 11:24 pmHey Matt, I am like Andrew, nice clean shots and is something different.
Posted: Mon May 30, 2005 12:41 pmLike the second one Matt, would crop off bottom third and see how it looks, Max
Posted: Mon May 30, 2005 1:13 pmLike the 2nd image matt 
Posted: Mon May 30, 2005 1:38 pmMatt: First one is great, lovely bokeh! The second and third ones are nicely composed, but the distortion ruins them IMO. Mind you I'm very sensitive to distortion, fisheyes send me dizzy, so it may not be too bad for someone else!
Posted: Mon May 30, 2005 2:16 pmI too especially like the first one.
A question though if I may?
The term bokeh, I think, means the blurring of the background, or background out of focus. My question is, is this a technical term or an abbreviation of something?
I hope I'm not going to be too embarrassed by the answer.
Cheers
John

Can you please stop posting your everyday shots. I'm completely fed up with seeing them.
Every time I think I'm getting better with the shots that I'm taking great time & effort to shoot and PP I see beauties like these and I get depressed again
The first shot is just delightful. The detail in the black feathers and beautiful colour contrast with the grass just leap off the screen. The one of the art gallery is fine by me (didn't notice the distortion, but then I use a 12-24 DX ), but it seems a trifle dark to me.

Boke is a Japanese word, not an acronym. There's an interesting link on the spelling of boke here that is worth a read just for the sake of it. I've lifted a bit from there that more directly answers your question:
This is from http://www.imaginatorium.org/stuff/cufilter.htm
Linguistic note: The original Japanese term boke (the 'h' is superfluous, as long as you don't pronounce it to rhyme with "broke") also refers to what happens to people who have become grey and boring, and lost their normal mental faculties. Sort of like the photons.
Posted: Mon May 30, 2005 2:47 pmI like the first 2 a great deal, Matt. The exposure and detail on the bird is very good. Quite impressive, IMO. 
Posted: Mon May 30, 2005 11:11 pmStubbsy, you're right. That is an interesting thread
