The only thing i would add to the tute is to use a gradient in mask mode to create the gradual change in blurriness Thanks Emma, a good primer for people to experiment with, of course there are various methods to tweak this but the principle is the same.

I, however, do not criticize negatively. Sometimes, negative suggestions are merely the way some persons attemmpt to show off their knowledge, but it is a poor way to do it. Thanks for your tutorial.

Apologies about the idiots who seem to pull a part every photoshop tutorial that gets posted on DPS. It's a pity that people can't be constructive or appreciative of the work of others.

The result doesn't look like a shallow DOF at all... Lens blur is much more accurate than a Gaussian blur. Second, using a mask means that the blur blends into the unblurred photo underneath. In the end it looks like a softfocus effect instead of a shallow DOF. Use smart filters with a mask and do a lens blur instead. Personally I think this is a bad technique.
