Yes, here we go again, our 24 hour contest is back. The theme for tomorrow is :
"MY UGLIEST BOKEH !"

No rules, anything goes, however....
(1) The images must be yours.
(2) The bokeh must not be "enhanced" through postprocessing.

You have till tomorrow (Tuesday) 23:00 hrs EST to submit your entries.

Now, here is mine.

Here ya go - no levels or usm or that type of PP at all - straight from the camera and cropped. I like the bird, don't like the bokeh.

So many possibilities...

You know that any image involving Lola would win hands down -- especially if Webby managed to get her in the bokeh!

Here's my "best effort":

come one! These bokehs aren't that bad at all, a little bland maybe, but far from the worst. I know one of you have the 50 1.8!! I will search through some images and hopefully find something with uglier bokeh! lol Great contest! I think I might actually win this one!

Good going, George, now we seem to be starting downhill slowly.:lol:
BTW, that's an excellent robin shot.

I know I have some uglier bokeh around, but this is what I found after a quick search. Unfortunately, I didn't use "ugly bokeh" as a key word lol.

My lovely wife, with ugly bokeh.

I can't believe my neighbor's pickup truck doesn't qualify for the ugliest bokeh!

I can see now I'm going to have to dig into my craptacular arse-chives to compete here.

Just remember -- you asked for it!
