I don't understand. Kaylene

I'm not sure that this is exactly the way a tilt-shift would look. Then again I haven't studied tilt-shift shots all that much. Typically the shot that works best for this is one taken from a height looking down. Part of the problem with these is that the blur doesn't quite look distance related. It looks like it's just related to the position in the frame. Andrew

I don't understand. I'm not really big on the blurring, it almost seems that it was half on accident, like it was big chuncks. I'd like to see the roofs and the entire subject looking more sharp. I do like what you did with the coloring. Like you sucked out everything but the reds and oranges. It is a normal shot that is to look like a fake or a model. I am not 100% happy with the blurring yet either. Thanks on the color complement. aacmckay wrote in post #2131798 Looks like a pretty good attempt.

Go back to your main layer and select what you would like back in focus, using the magnetic lasso, then go back to your blurred layer and delete. Kaylene
