    I like it. One thing I might recommend though since I see ya used the bloom filter this time - I think you might like the result better if you raise the threshold on the filter for the bloom to 3000 instead of 2000, then lower the bloom filter radius to 0.010 instead of 0.050. It'll take longer to render, but you get a smoother overall bloom with the lighting you have there, and it catches better on the hair without meshing it together. That said, the end result on this is nice regardless. Just wanted to save you some trouble on the trial and error for the bloom filter. The render times are long enough with it on that it can be a hassle to tweak.

    I'll give that a try next time. Thanks. Advice, critiques, and suggestions always welcome.

    I did not like what it did to the hair. Too extreme to attribute it to DoF blur.

    Yeah that's the bloom filter radius. If you lower it a lot it'll lower the radius it blurs, so the hair doesn't get all blurred out. And raising the threshhold will make it so only the already well lit parts bloom. Prevents the whole thing from giving a weird semi-bloom.
