This, to me, is a key ingredient of using any fast lens...... background
isolation.  You see it all the time on sports magazine front pages... the
athlete sharp, the background a wall of color... nothing sharp, just
pleasant colors....

It's also a great lens to eliminate or cut down on distracting backgrounds
by making the distraction become a mush of colour or grey-black nothing. And
in many cases that out of focus becomes a supporting element of the main
subject sharply in focus.
