		Just look at the challenge description:
 
 Loosely defined, bokeh is the quality and "feel" of the out-of-focus foreground or background elements of a photo. It isn't very interesting by itself, but take a photograph whose subject is enhanced by the bokeh of the background.

 You should just do what you want.  I'm sure you aren't the only one that feels that way.  I would rather, of course, you went with the challenge description, but don't let us push you around. ;)

 I encourage you to look further than wikapedia for your understanding of bokeh.

		Bokeh per Wikipedia is as follows:
 
 //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh
 
   Bokeh (from the Japanese boke ぼけ, "blur"[1]) is a photographic term describing the subjective aesthetic qualities of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens. For example, causing an out-of-focus background image may reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject.
 
   --
 
   It's got nothing to do with shapes, just the pleasing effect of the blur. Oh and continuing on, it calls the hexagonal "hard edged" bokeh as undesirable, which I agree with. I dislike hexagonal hard edged bokeh. Buttery smooth is where it is at.

 Where's the challenge in blending a solid colour background with your choice of subject?

		| I did not "blend a solid color background" .. that statement suggests I replaced the background for something it was not |
