out of focus effect

[mastupristi]

I have applied defocus node to obtain out of focus effect, but it has an artificial effect

here is the detailed image

You can see that the first out of focus ball seems to be covered by second ball

here is my settings

how can I avoid the problem?

thanks

i think this is what the Z-mask is designed to correct, in the next release. see blender.org/development
