Paint Effects + DOF = Problem

[Duncan]

I think your problem here is that there is only one depth value per pixel that is passed on to the depth of field post process. Some of the pixels are partically transparent while the depth value is the nearer depth, resulting in less blur on the background plate seen through these pixels. This is a basic problem when rendering very fine lines with post process style depth of field. Increasing the resolution of the render should help a bit, as well as increasing the tube width on the hairs, if possible. Perhaps a more practical solution is to render without the background plate and composite.
