Well, here's an example of what you could call "ugly" bokeh -- this critter was at quite some distance from me, shot at 400mm at f/6.3 but with the background too close -- I did a quck grab, but I should have gotten the ISO hgher for a wider aperture, dang:

I dunno Tony, I think it looks pretty good as far as bad bokeh goes :p...Dragon flies are freaky little things....Mating season around here is always a time to dread as my little ones start asking me what they're doing.....

Heh!

I think if I really cared, I'd bring it into PS and apply just a little background blur or some such...if, that is, I really cared...

Now here's what you can get at 400mm when you are closer to the subject and the background is farther away, f/5.6:

Well, nobody on this thread has specified the idea of bokeh being just about "specular highlight" bokeh, as in how soft and blurry little points of light become, so I'm just taking it as nice creamy whatever and having fun! And since the title says "The Good and the Ugly", I guess everything might fit in one way or another!
