True, of course; but the image from cgsphere.com that Bill linked to
(thanks, Bill!) does show that the girl *is* quite small compared to the
brick sphere--that is, smaller than she *appears* to be in Bill's first
image. Nothing wrong with that; it just shows me what I might need to do to
get the result I'm after: positioning and scaling my foreground objects (if
necessary) to produce the desired blurring, while appearing to be in the
'correct' scale, relative to the other scene elements.
