Question Love the Bokeh, is color too much

I love the bokeh in this picture. Wish I knew exactly how it happened. I can not see it as clearly on the LCD when taking the shots. Anyway I like to know if lighting is too dark?

When you no longer perceive the world as hostile, there is no more fear, and when there is no more fear, you think, speak and act differently.

Default

focal length of 200m @ f5 resulted in the bokeh.

the lighting: key seems good but it's missing fill camera left - either a dialled down 2nd source or a reflector.

Agreed. Also the white balance is off, her skin color is way too red.

Default bokeh and the nose

I love bokeh but her nose and its shadow held my attention and not for the right reasons. You could have used fill flash to lose the shadow.
