  As I say in the tutorial, focal blur simulates a photograph taken
with a macro lens, and makes it look like the scene has been photographed
from very close. There are many photographs like that, and it's a nice
effect. I think in this kind of image it's ok, and adds to the depth and
realism.

  Of course in other situations it may be overused.
