Wow this looks ugly :D. But still nice work. It's just that the girl is totally over-processed and the "bokeh", well I hate to break it to you, but this isn't bokeh, its called "blur".

This is bokeh: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/JgrDuxQPCAvgd5VzqiKN5a-650...

And bokeh is 3 dimensional and surrounds the focus area, increasing with distance: https://www.flickr.com/photos/scottcartwrightphotography/145...

I suggest to brush up a bit on photo skills, although I agree that the instragram and iPhone culture can shift your perception of "bokehlicious" quite a bit.

I don't want to make you feel bad, so I also tell you that Apple's "bokeh" in portrait mode looks disgusting, doesn't make any sense and breaks the image in a lot of trivial cases... and they spent a lot more money & effort on it than you :).



I agree. My goal here was to get something that look like bokeh if you squinted at it.

I just wanted to see how far I could take this idea.


FYI, the web page seems entirely unusable on my iPad Pro. It goes blank at the first example, and without a scroll indicator I have no idea what’s going on.

I was able to scroll to the bottom footer, but I can’t scroll back to the top, so there’s literally nothing but a blank page now except for the footer.


Thanks for the feedback. Let me fix that.
