Does this look odd?

Hello, I've just been looking at the latest footy news, as I do many times throughout the day. ;)

While doing this I clicked on a link of images from the Liverpool v Everton FA Cup Semi Final at Wembley, and a pic of Jamie Carragher and Tim Cahill apparently just jumped for the ball. Now it's a perfectly sharp picture, and a dynamic pose that I would have been more than happy to take. :) However, I think I'm seeing some kind of distortion effect in the background that I don't think I've seen before. :thinking: :shrug:

You can see the image here.

Does anyone else get sort of a rotation feeling to the blur in the background?

If so, what do you think could have caused this?
 
Some lenses just do that - check out the Helios 44M (not that this shot came from one, but it's a prime example.)
 
Thanks for the reply, and taking the time to look. :)

I have never seen this weird ritational effect before. :thinking:

That is quite an old lens you've mentioned. If that has the same effect, then one would hope they could have designed it out (if possible) by now.:shrug:
 
Weird bokeh is one name for it but its actually called barrel roll, a characteristic of the lens...
There is another name for it, but it escapes me for the minute...:)
 
If you want weird bokeh then look at this:

I was not on anything at the time, and neither was the lens:lol:
