I noticed just how much bad lens bokeh can spoil an otherwise excellent image. Brilliant composition, timing, sense-of-light... but now look at the three-cornered highlights in the background and the out-of-focus leaves on the table in the foreground. This was via a Canon 50mm f1.5 right? Yeech. I guess a real-thing Summarit would have been better after all. ;?)
