I've long groaned about photographers who like to use too much depth of
field un-necessarily (in my opinion)to focus attention on the subject.  To
me that only works if you've got tunnel vision or the background is so
separate form the foreground to be abstract.  Eyes naturally move so-as to
not burn in and also to look at different things (unless you're drunk or so
I've heard.)  Personally I like to be able to look at every corner of photos
if I can.  So, in adding realism to a render, a little focal blur goes a
long way.  Just my 2c.
