But this image is much, much smoother.
You might want to try sharpening only the girl by using a layer mask.
I've been hunting for some Noctilux examples to compare against. The bit
thing that many people like is the smooth, relativly even out-of-focus

AH yes, the infamous Noct. I am sure it's somewhere on his website that
there is a color picture of one of the kids in a pile of leaves taken with
the Noct, and the leaves look as if they are spinning due to the out of
focus effect!! It was mentioned in the rec.photo.equipment.35mm not too
long ago.
