word bokeh is really just a synonym for blur
i never thought about it that way. fraenk, you are a native speaker, how can I argue with you... i d k, maybe I am wrong, and confused now... but I still probably be thinking on about it like this, in a wrong way :/
some differentiation in photo-lingualism.. where the same "amount" of blur can still create a different "quality" of bokeh because of...
you nailed it. I didnt say, 'different amount', I'd say, a different quality of bokeh, but we are there.
returning back to the red leaves of your pic, imo one should better not say: look at this bokeh! - cause it was just a blur of non-specific and amazing shape, it naturally lead us to results like this: I came in... and didnt noticed one! and was claiming, give me bokeh as promised :P
maybe it was me, who mis-used the word 'technically', and you are correct: technically it is bokeh, but... often not the stuff like this, is awarded with this epithet. dixi !
