Ned,
I have to agree with Rick. This is pretty awesome. I wouldn't change a thing.

I like the effects. Anything special you did other than slow shutter speed? Looks like a blur filter painted over areas of the shot?

Yes, I did a blur around the edges to give the look... left the center clear... kind of liked how it did..

Very cool... I particularly like it, as this is a fairly realistic effect (IMHO) If you've ever used a Lens Baby, this is pretty close looking to them, they have a sweet spot (which you can move) which is mostly in focus, and depending on the apeture used the outer edge blurs.... I've not had the opportunity to use mine anywhere good, but have practised with it and it gives a similar effect.... Very nice
