Too bad. As for the locked focus error, I can't explain it that too well, however, look at these images and compare them to your results. Especially look at the shrubs at the right side and how they change 'blur-wise'. I think you can best describe the effect as 'depth smearing', and that's what your effect lacks ..

Don't get me wrong, you're getting great results already! It doesn't trully feel like depth of field though, but maybe that's because I'm just a photograph freak,
Cheers
