In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens.
Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.
