It's Nice But It's Not Nigella

You may have been lucky enough to have encountered Nigella's latest epic, "Nigella breathes on Christmas". If so, as a photographer you cannot have avoided noticing the bokeh, which is now even more luscious than Nigella herself. This has prompted much waggish comment on the twitter, along the lines of "Nigella Lawson has been admitted to the Johnston Clinic for treatment following a severe overdose of bokeh. Nigella stated that 'at first it was a simple occasional background highlight but as the festive season approached things simply got out of hand.'" Rumour has it that Nigella is furious at being upstaged by her own aperture, and that heads will roll. I would not even attempt to compete with Nigella, but the characteristic bokeh of the MP-E 65mm is surely worthy of comment. And maybe a short-run daytime series when the Hairy Bikers are in holiday?
