Could somebody give me a definition of what "bokeh" is??
Funny word, no translation in my dictionary :-)
Gerard,
It's a Japanese term that essentially refers to the out of focus area
of a photo. For some, it has little or no import. To my way of
seeing, the out of focus areas can inform an image as much as color
rendition, contrast, and resolution. It's an interesting trait, and
one of those things that is often overlooked until you become aware
of it, and then you suddenly notice it everywhere and begin to see
the impact it can have.
Here's a good link that explains the concept:

And if that's not enough:
