This time, the selection was easy, as the camera had done most of thw work with DOF. I shift clicked with the magic wand on the background until it was all selected, inverted the selection, copied, pasted, selected the background layer, desaturated, selected the top layer, loaded selecction, selected the bottom layer, inverted the selection, applied gasusian blurr. Then, I deselected and used the clone tool to touch up the edges of the rose, and then flattened.
