Step 4

Now we will enhance the illusion of the ground running away from us. First we are going to add some lens distortion at the very bottom of the image. Duplicate the Ground layer by clicking Command + J or drag the layer in the layers palate down to the New Layer icon. Rename this layer "Ground Lens Blur," then go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Set the radius to something small around three as we don't want the blur to be too pronounced.

After applying the blur we need to mask out all of the area that we don't want to have the blur. Make sure that you have the "Ground Lens Blur" layer selected and then click on the layer mask button at the bottom of the layers palette.

Press D to set the colors to default (black and white) and click on the Gradient Tool. Make sure you have the linear gradient selected. Click on the layer mask and draw a thin gradient going from white to black from the bottom of the layer to the top, your mask should look like the image below.
