If the theme will be more liberally interpreted as really just a shallow DOF contest, I might want to resubmit. Thoughts?

I think that we should let the voters decide.
I think that mere OOF starts becoming bokeh when the BG objects start becoming unidentifiable. There have been some entrants where the BG is OOF, but everything there is easily identified.
Your entry clearly and undisputably has bokeh, IMHO.
Better gear does make better bokeh, but by getting close enough with the lens wide open, even a nifty-fifty can produce some nice bokeh.
