Confused and not impressed with the bokeh in this photo, not sure why there’s such a harsh line around the bokeh particularly around the vase. Would appreciate some tips to avoid it in future if possible!

Shot on A7IV with Sony 50mm f1.8 (SEL50F18F)

    It’s the horizontal lines of the cladding in the background interfering with the vertical line of the base/column. When they are out of focus, the blurr will overlap and cause interference adding the dark lines of the cladding into the vases bokeh.

    With the editing and added contrast (which includes lowering highlights, adjusting “clarity” or lifting the black point) it became very apparent.

    No issue with the lens.
