David S. That's some rather unpleasant bokeh in the Prarie dog pic: was that the 100-400mm Sony? I guess it must just be a bad combination of distance, background composition and focal length, as usually it seems OK.

 

As a contrast, Greg M's roses have beautiful bokeh, and I am certainly no bokeh fanatic.

Hi Robin. Those artifacts are probably due to a combination of heat off the prairie, bright light on the BG and relatively high winds. The FE 400/f.2.8, plus the FE 2.0x teleconverter yields smooth bokeh when circumstances allow. See below:
