I had similar thoughts, but I think I might desaturate the orange a
bit and call it good. Too little time for more promising images to
spend a lot of time PS-ing this one.
Bokeh wasn't too ugly on this one:

I used fairly small stops because I carried a tripod and many subjects
were in the MR of 1:10 or smaller. It's more important to me to get
the right stuff in focus than achieve inspiring bokeh, though it's
nice to get both. It reminds me that I need to bracket more for focus
and DOF than I do.
Other examples show the capabilities of the lens to good enough effect:

but not everyone will enjoy background like that.
