It - the bokeh - is a bit odd, but the more I look at it, the less I
find it so. I think the problem has more to do with the background and
the background colors, than the bokeh. Lovely shot of the little girl,
btw.

I like what someone wrote, something to the effect that a bad picture
with 
good bokeh is still a bad picture. A good picture with a bad bokeh is
still 
a good picture, but a good picture with a good bokeh can make it into a 
great picture. I like this picture:

but the bokeh of the couch drives me nuts. This is the Zuiko 50/1.4 at
1.4.
