It's almost there. You need a bit more separation between the main focus of interest of the shot (in the centre) and the rest of the shot. After all, the purpose of this is to make the central part of the shot really stand out. It doesn't work with all shots. If you want to upload the original shot (before the process) I wouldn't mind having a go at it. http://www.mediafire.com/myfiles.php

It's a Brit thing. You call them therapists and they charge a lot of money.
