Believe it or not, this shot and the next one are from the same basic Processing sketch as the rebound. The differences are just adjustments in the parameters.
When I do stuff like this I give myself a bunch of variables and then just play at refreshing the palette, resetting the shapes, tweaking the settings etc. and seeing what results. I generate hundreds, keep a few dozen at most, and end up finding only a few gems worth publishing.
Great background task while watching Wall St. and Iron Man again on the plane today.
The DoF was a happy accident actually. It's created by Processing but wasn't necessarily meant to be. I think it's just a by-product of the way this one sketch works; it layers up very transparent ellipses, and the ones that are more loosely clustered end up having a strong DoF effect.
Pretty sure Processing doesn't have any built-in focus controls, but it's also possible I may not have stumbled across them yet.

Wonderful, Dave. Is the DoF created by Processing as well?
