I love the bokeh on this image. Evrtyhing except the main subject is soft and dreamy. There is a bright highlight running across the width of the background, roughly about about 1/3 of the way from the top. The highlight softly fades into darker tones. To me, the overall effect is very pleasing. Once again, the lens is the Minolta 70-210 "beercan", opened wide to f/4. The Sony A350 was mounted on a tripod, although the 1/250 sec shutter speed is fast enough that I probably could have shot this hand held.
Better photos with the Sony A300 or A350
