Phillipe:

You might want to try the LUG... they know all about Bokeh.

It's a Japanese word which describes the character of out of focus areas
in a photograph. Some out of focus areas in a picture, usually in the
background, are pleasing to look at while others are ugly... a lot of
times it seems to come down to "one man's meat is another man's poison."

Take a look at this:
