:
you know when you set your camera to take a close-up shot of something like an ant or whatever, you have a very small margin in which the image is focussed. That's how your scene looked when the web was blurred. It sort of made the scene look like a miniature model, and it made the foreground objects look very flat.

That sort of blurring does indeed make things look like small models; that's what tilt-shift photography is usually used to do.
