Gonz is onto something when he points at the harsh bokeh. So now I wonder:
Is there anything I can do to make it less harsh in Phootoshop (Elements 3)?
Gaussian Blur is one obvious answer. It helps, but it does not take it right
where I want.
Does anybody have some input on this?

I've tried some smoothing techniques in PS to achieve a more pleasant
background. Usually you have to mask out the main subject and copy the
resultant image in several layers, making each layer have a different
level of blur. Then you control the opacity to achieve the look you
want. Its
Good bokeh isn't a sure thing, even with the best lenses. Sometimes background
elements just don't blend well, even when the lens performance is optimal. I've
used almost a variety of tools to repair bokeh: cloning, selective blurring,
painting with semi-transparent layers, and gaussian blur.
Out of focus rendering is a fundamental property of a particular
lens... It's quite difficult to change a harsh rendering to a
pleasing one. Mixtures of different kinds of blurring and filtering
sometimes can help, but depending upon the particular image, they all
fall apart ultimately.
There are numerous factors that effect the bokeh, including the type of
background, the distance between you and the subject and the distance
between the background and the subject, aperture, shape of diaphragm
blades, number of blades, as well as the design of the lens. The size of
