This is more than just a sexy magic stunt. It is an exercise, using Photoshop cs,
in increasing shallow dof. 1) duplicated orginal layer. 2) in top layer, extracted
central focus with bezier curve tools and applied matte defringe. 4) still in top
layer, applied slight shadow / highlight tool 5) in bottom layer used healing tools
and blur tool to blend edges of central focus with background 6) used crosshatch
filter and gaussian blur on entire background to create some bokeh. 7) flattened
image. 8) applied some minor hue / saturation and brightness contrast. 9) attached
frame. 10) Voila! C'est fini!
