No, because the blur radius is constant. To get a good result you need 
to have varying blur radius.

That was exactly my point abut being able to drive filter parameters 
themseves with other layers or layer masks. Just blending a filtered 
with an unfiltered version of the image doesn't suffice and it is stuff 
that is possible in e.g. Photoshop since 20 years. It also always looks 
crap (imho). :)
