In Photoshop I know you can blur the BG by creating a mask, using the blur tool and then 'painting back the subject' leaving the BG blurred, then flattening the image.

Not sure if GIMP has layers.
Maybe someone else that uses GIMP can suggest a solution.

BTW your shot was clever, what are the flower buds made of, marzipan ?

The red ones are tomato skins and the white ones are cucumber skins. Thanks for the tips Gimp does do all that stuff now I just have to learn how to use it properly being a newbie
