Gonz is onto something when he points at the harsh bokeh. So now I wonder: Is there anything I can do to make it less harsh in Phootoshop (Elements 3)? Gaussian Blur is one obvious answer. It helps, but it does not take it right where I want. Does anybody have some input on this? The picture is here http://www.photosight.org/photo.php?photoid=35892&ref=author If anybody feels like playing with a larger version, please give me a hint and I'll send the file directly.
Judging from other examples, it looks like I will face the same problem now and then with this lens combo.
