I actually took this when I was out grocery shopping w/ my mother-in-law today. I took it right before we went in. I haven't done anything to the photo.

Any tips and advice welcomed!

I'm curious. I always understood bokeh to be the out of focus points of light in a photo (wikipedia....Essentially, bokeh is an aesthetic and qualitative measure of light distortion in the out-of-focus areas of an image, and is primarily caused by lens aberrations and aperture shape.)

I read the links Saralonde has posted here and noticed the one that is "understanding boke" seems different (...the difference between out of focus areas of an image due to lens design).

My question, lol..... is it JUST any out-of-focus areas in a photo or is it the soft, blurred, out-of-focus, lights or both? If it's any out-of-focus area, what makes one more desirable than something else? Just wanna make sure I understand this
