Just disable AF mode, pick object, focus it with focus picker and center it with zoom picker, now zoom out to see the object witch will be fully unfocused, wait to clear (enough samples) and click on AF mode, you'll see the focused image overlaying the unfocused and there is nice glow forming from unfocused image on the highlights..
