£4.35 and you have a deal
Joking aside, the image has a symmetry that, speaking from a personal point of view, the majority would have walked past without a second thought but... $4.350.000?!?!? -

Firstly, this is how I do it. There may be easier and quicker ways so feel free to add your hints below.
In response to a question posed by FUJI I've put together this tutorial on how to blur distracting backgrounds.
With your image open in Photoshop duplicate the layer: Layer>Duplicate Layer
Now we need to blur the image: Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur
Select a value that will suit the image and click 'OK'
Now create a layer mask by holding down the 'Alt' key and clicking the icon that looks like a washing machine.
Your blur will now have disappeared but panic not.
Now add a mask overlay by pressing the '' key on your keyboard. Select the brush tool and a soft brush.
With the foreground colour set to white begin painting on the area to be blurred, this will expose the layer beneath. Be sure to paint over the edges of the area to remain in focus.
This is where it gets time consuming.
Zoom in to the image, reduce the size of you brush using the ' [ ] ' keys and change the foreground colour to black. Now begin painting back in the mask overlay on the 'in focus' area. Again, don't worry too much, if you happen to go over the edge simply change the foreground colour back to white and touch in. You can check your progress at any time by pressing the '' key again.
Once you have the edges sorted hold down 'Alt' and click the layer mask icon, this will show the true mask and areas that need attention will show here.
You should take your time refining the edges, mine is quick and dirty with a few areas still needing touching up, but hopefully you will be happy with the results
