I agree with Butch. An alternative to trying to throw
the background out of focus might be to use a
wider-angle lens and move in closer; the background
objects will be larger in number but smaller in size,
and contribute context and "atmosphere" without as
much distraction. A number of viewers are clearly
kinda distracted!
