There is many ways to accomplish that dept of field effect you are looking for, so I'll just link you to some of the tutorials I found:

As for making it look better, you probably want to do some color grading to accomplish a more pleasant color combination. I've found that choosing the right colors is key to making things look good. Here is a tool which I've found very usefull whenever deciding what colors I'd be using: kuler.adobe.com/.
