Good point on the bubbles - the first casualty of rendering is subtly. Here's
another with more subdued bubbles.

This time I rendered it using more of my stochastic rig - so the anti-aliasing
is done by moving the camera each frame, as is the depth of field blur. Because
I then got to turn off POVs anti-aliasing, the total render time dropped even
though the output image also adds a focus blur.

I also tried a different lightprobe this time too.

Cheers,
Edouard.
