Your pictures show how little that characteristic actually detracts in real life - I would not have made any comment except for the fourth one in your original series. All the rest are just fine. The sample is a great one since it shows you do have to be aware of it, but is easily avoided. That second series is also a killer.

That's actually one I quite like the bokeh in - agreed it's an un-natural effect but the wash of colour from the out-of-focus purple areas I find quite pleasing.

Thanks for your kind words Patrick.
