Here is the same image I uploaded in the message thread, [ DoF example](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2765881).  

In that thread, danob made a productive suggestion ... alas, it was one which I haven't had tme to implement. 

Details about this image ...

I was motivated by the discussion of DoF in the Light test thread.  

I was inspired by the remains of a light rain on the holly leaves outside my window.  In addition, although the day had been overcast with light rain, as the rain ended I had strong, even sunlight -- a Promise of Spring to Come. 

BTW, considering how windy it was at the time as well as how slowly the camera makes a decision to actually take the picture, I consider myself lucky to get this image at all. 

Camera: Kodak Z1015 IS 10MP; hand-held; available light; subject at about 2-3 ft.

Comments, please.
