Yeah, I would just expand your tool and lessen the effect. Make a gradual transition, That way you depth of field seems more realistic, as if you are focus on the cars and the trees are in a completely different field of focus. With the gradual transition around the car, you won't be able to notice the sharp line where the focus and blur separateyea, i did that one real quick and suprised it came out as well as it did, so i thought i'd post up it up. lol
near perfect? wow! thanks!
I'll give it another try...lol
quick edit, its a little bit better lol but the file size wasnt the original so yea...
I did some burning around the outside to take your focus away from the extra crap like the side street and the woman. I blurred heavy since you like it, brought back some color to the trees, added some vignetting, and added the slightest touch of HDR to the cars to make them pop. I took the first image and used it for the color edit in the second. Looking back, I was a bit sloppy with the recolorlike.
kind dreamy looking. lol
