I'm working on the Blur in the background.
That was my first one.

I'm using gimp, Any tips on how to make it look good?

I'd honestly just brighten it up a bit and up the contrast.

It's hard to manually do blur & make it look realistic.. You need a DSLR with a low aperture for depth of field.

I want the background blurred a little though.
I think it'd look great if I could get it the right way lol

So the cameras actually do that?
I thought the photographers added it after.

I'd warm it up because it's on the cool side. & I honestly wouldn't add the blur :/

Yeah, it's the cameras.. It's hard to create fake bokeh.
