Depth of field was there on the original shot. I used a blur filter and then masked the area I wanted to stay focused. Trick is to copy your layer and then apply the filter and mask what you want.

Because you're in Virginia with a lot of Black Widow spiders.
Everybody knows that the Black Widow spider ALWAYS fail the engineering exams!
Marcel, is pointillism a Latin word for "I forgot to focus"? I learn new things here every day. Jeff

EVERYONE needs to be able to do this. How many here have noticed just how perfect this is for a portrait backdrop?
Just a thought.
Let me understand this correctly. On a portrait I am supposed to use a lot of bokeh for the background and then deliberately put the focus out on the subject? Everywhere else they say to focus on the eye and get it sharp and use bokeh for the background. I think I will stick with the old fashion way, but that's just me. Jeff
I think what Pete said was that if I was to make a very large print of my out of focus shot, it could be used as a portrait "backdrop". You are right about the subject closest eye being in focus in a portrait.
Very cool I like this capture(pardon the pun) a lot!

Very nice detail. Not long ago I purchase a flash and have been looking for an excuse to get it out. hmm
