Jon, thanks for your observations and feedback (Gulp).
lol - sorry if that came across harsh.
I suspect #1 is you are not working with a properly calibrated monitor - this is crucial to seeing shadow tonality. You can't properly edit if you can't distinguish tonal gradients.
I think the biggest "sin" was the brush used was relatively hard and it shows the edges.
If you use lightroom I would suggest both the brush correction tool with auto-mask in conjunction with the new radial filters. Man you can make the background go away with style and grace using those.
In Photoshop it boils down to learning to make selections - bring up the refine edges dialog to work on getting closer.
