The wiki definition of Bokeh is as follows..
In photography, bokeh (Japanese pronunciation: [boke]) is the blur,[1][2] or the aesthetic quality of the blur,[3][4][5] in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."[6] 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.[1] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.
So I was going through a few pictures when I started to notice that I was in a very unintentional way pulling off this hard technique I suppose with a little bit of luck.
