After playing around with many different procedures this is what I came up with. I admit the pic isn't that great but it is the effect that I am wanting comments on.

And, not sure if you meant it to be out of focus? I like your attempt at making it look blown out...I just think the hair and the background blend too well. Were you trying to focus attention onto her smile? Her smile stands out. Alot. Almost too much to me. Such as teh focus is her smile. Not her eyes.....But again, I like that delicate soft/pastel style. Maybe too much blend with hair and background?

I really don't know how to achieve what I am looking for in this pic. The focus in the original is sharp....I just used a dodging tool to feather the details. I think you are right about me being a bit to aggressive between the hair and background. I will try another pic and keep the focus on her eyes. Thanks for the input!
