1. I used the image below, feel free to use your own image:
![](/content_images/AdobePhotoshop/SpecialEffects/radial/1.jpg)
2. Now select the Elliptical Marquee Tool from the toolbar. Hold shift and make a circle over the part you want the image to be focused on, I put the circle over the surgery. After making your select go to Select>Inverse. Your selection should look like this:
![](/content_images/AdobePhotoshop/SpecialEffects/radial/2.jpg)
3. Now go to Edit>Copy then Edit>Paste. Your layers window should look like this:
![](/content_images/AdobePhotoshop/SpecialEffects/radial/3.jpg)
4. Now on the Layer 2 you need to apply Filter>Blur>Radial Blur. And use these settings:
![](/content_images/AdobePhotoshop/SpecialEffects/radial/4.jpg)
There you go, you are done. Here is my focal point effect:
