FF, one of my main criticisms of your edits is the seeminly random blurring you do on them. The blurred portions of an image are determined simply by how far those parts are from the end of the lens, whether they be on the floor on in the sky. It's not like focus, where the sharp parts of the image are where you point it; it's distance related.
For example, in your FXO image above, the rear of the car is sharp, the signs above the road are completely blurred yet the cones which are further away from the signs are also sharp which would never be possible IRL without merging more than one image together.
I'm not slagging you off, just saying that if you take a bit more time with the blurring and do it less randomly you'd end up with much better pics.
