I know that this kind of busy bokeh is hated around here for some reason. I kinda like it, especially recently with the iphone portrait mode producing very creamy artificial bokeh so I think that I'm just sick of that because I see it literally everywhere.
Maybe the bokeh would look ugly in nature around trees but in the night it looks nice imo.
Just wanted to point out the nisen bokeh this lens produce so if you don't like that, don't buy it.

Welcome, Tariq0101.

You won't hear me complain about the rendering in your photo. I think it's nice!
If you have any more photos to share, I'd enjoy seeing them.
(Now that you've made an initial post, photos will show in your succeeding posts.)

Just because some express dislike for this kind of bokeh doesn't mean that all dislike it.
In your image making there is no-one that you have to please but yourself, so make your images and feel free to share them.
All creative souls are welcome here.
Thank you for sharing this one
Tom

Welcome Tariq0101! Good to see you here!

Thank you also for the term nisen bokeh I didn't know it before.

According to the definition of nisen bokeh at https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2014/05/02/the-end-of-onion-ring-bokeh-panasonic-beats-the-curse-of-aspheric-lenses your image does not have nisen bokeh. I like to call light spheres like yours "out-of-focus highlights".

Well, I started to like Leica lenses mainly for their "busy" bokeh, and got bored with them when they stopped to show that personality...

So, to each his own.

Subject and background are well chosen in the image up top. Nice.
