it\'s the grass Carsten. Try using it with a rock or wood background and comparable light, it will be much less offensive.
The 25 is even worse in this respect, and for that reason the use of it\'s closeup abilities is limited for nature shots (for my taste). It is especially bad at 2.8. Grass and needles of conifers on the ground and also bare branches are often making for a bad bokeh.The OOF areas have double contours which look weired and harsh. Try it out with same light and different objects at the same distance.
I haven\'t done much with the 28 as yet but in that respect I think it is much better than the 25/2.8, maybe partly due to the wider apperture.
Your shots are very nice, I especially like the first one.
I am also much more drawn to the 28 than the 21 as well, although I only got the 21 a couple of days ago.
