Yeah, that one wasn't really DoF, it was something Photoshop likes to call "Iris Blur". I thought it looked neat (and by the gods, trying to do a selection in that image is a serious pain in the ass) so I gave it a shot. Glad you liked the second one, tho.
Heh, nah, I've only done it so far on a grand total of four shots (which tells you something about how incredibly labor-intensive it is to lay it on as a post-process).
The rod was bothering me enough for me to go ahead and try to fix it.
Spoiler!
Edit: Hm, I should probably note that I overwrote the same image and you may have to delete it from your cache (or open in new tab -> refresh).
