John -
I agree with Bob --
soften it up some, if you can without making it look like a totally
doctored piece.
OTOH - if you shoot something you are not pleased with yourself (i.e.,
if you have to ask someone
else how good it is) then you might as well discard it. :-)

I've been asking around about this photo, because I just can't decide
what to think of it:
http://www.neovenator.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=888
60% of people asked say the out-of-focus area adds to the
overall photo.
30% say it detracts.
5% have no opinion either way.
5% hate flower photos.
I look at the photo and love how sharp the flower is. The background
bokeh seems a little harsh, but at the same time it doesn't bother me
that much. This was shot in 2006 with a cheapass Sigma 28-80
macro zoom
lens on my old *istD.
What do you think? I wonder if it would benefit from digitally
softening up the bokeh.
