The focal blur is a little more extreme for several reasons

1. artistic licence
2. I hadnt modelled some of the detail at the top of the card, but with
focal blur you dont see it.
3. the rad settings used were extremly low quality (count of 5) because I
needed to keep memory usage to a bare minimum - i only have 256mb on my PC
and better rad would have pushed it over the 200mb this image sucked. the
focal blur helps cover up the rad defects (like the shadow under the card)
