don't discount the background! shallow depth of field is something different, simply what is in focus.

bokeh is how a particular lens handles points of out of focus light. my favorite is my mirror liens, 500mm and 1000mm. although considered a design flaw, it's a flaw worth using as in these first two. the third is a non mirror and you can see the difference.
