Hi,

Thanks for the comment.

I find that DoF PRO (www.richardrosenman.com/software)in Photoshop gives
more realistic results than POV-Ray.  In addition it has extras such as
Bokeh effects and other enhancements that are not supported in POV-Ray.  It
also means that you can severly reduce render times.  Using Blur massively
increases the render time when you have a high number of samples.  This
image took <5 mins to render and about 10secs to add the DoF - would have
taken much longer just in POV.

Regards,

Adrian
