I have two comments.  First of all, I see in your non-blurred render that the
POVRay you have doesn't have Lars Hassing's Torus Patch.  Take a look at this
page, where Lars describes the problem, and provides the fix:

http://www.hassings.dk/l3/povtorus/povtorus.html

(Note that the fix is included in POVRay 3.6, but he provides a fixed engine
executable that you can drop into your 3.5 install.)

Secondly, I agree with you about the focal blur not looking very good.  This can
apparently be corrected by tweaking the blur_samples, variance, and confidence
settings.  Take a look at the last two paragraphs of the Focal Blur section of
the POV-Ray documentation here:

http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/248/

Of course, in general, the better you make it look, the longer it will take to
trace.  They do provide a suggestion for "high-quality" output that isn't
"unacceptable slow", but it's hard to know what they mean without trying it out.

I got this to work in POVRay 3.5. I am not sure if it will work for other versions.
