The scene is actually my cgsphere entry:

http://www.cgsphere.com/gallery/details/?submission_id=3254

All I did was move the camera to floor level behind the girl, still pointing
at the centre of the sphere. The blur focal point was also set to the
sphere's centre. I tweaked the aperture a little to get the effect I
wanted, but I think I only needed a couple of test renders - it basically
worked right away.

If you look closely at the blurred version, you'll notice that some of the
bricks in the foreground are also slightly blurred, but not nearly as much
as the girl.
