Pseudo-depth of field!

I used Gimp(image editor on linux) to tweak this image...What do you think?

Here is the original file:

Pls, suggestions are welcome.

What a difference! I like it. It's a pity there were some petals missing from the flower. The before is just a noting picture, the after gives the impression of a light glowing in the dark.

Thanks alot for pointing out d missin petals. It kinda disfigured the outlook. You've done quite a great job in other threads on DPS. Thumbs up............Av a nice day

Don't worry too much about the missing petals. You've done a great job with the editing and that's what's really important here.....before and after. I would be interested in seeing more of your work.

Another way that I have found to do this and make it look pretty good is with the Gaussian Blur.

Create a new layer and blur the entire photo, then erase out (to the in tact layer below it) the object you want to remain in focus.

Works pretty well.

Thanks for the tip! I actually used a similar process to do this. Thanks once again......
