Doug, judging bokeh from the way light is rendered on slightly OOF
translucent and transparent object is not easy. Rather look at the
modelling mannequins to the left of John, on the desk, and the
pencils (?) just over his shoulder. They and the transitions are
reproduced very smoothly, as are other highlights in this shoot. The
bokeh is not the best, but it isn't bad either.
