tried some stuff with depth, didn't come out exactly how i wanted because i started in PS at school and finished in GIMP at home another version, different size: tried to fix some of the oddly blurred spots by making it all look that way, another different size, V3
Yeah, what used to be a person in the left, is now a huge blur, that doesn't really help the sig at all >_< Also its way to blurred behind the brute to the far right.
i've never tried blurring the foreground before, so that's probably why the guy is ugly... i made it a little less washed out made it a better size (imo)
Whatever filter you used to make it feel like the view is flying outwards and away from the focal doesn't add to it at all. I'd suggest just using varying degrees of Gaussian Blur.
