Wow! This really rocks! I think you did a great job. Nothing to criticize here...

Note to self: Must give this miniaturizing thing a shot.

Wow... very cool in my opion. By chance could anyone care to share how to pull this technique off? I see this being done more and more lately and would like to give it a try.

As I understand it's just a matter of adding Gaussian blur on PS feathered heavily towards the fore/background to achieve the impression of shallow depth of field like when you have the subject within the hyperfocal distance (kinda trial and error here) and then bump up the saturation to achieve brighter colors such as those in a scale model. I guess it also involves enhancing contrast and sharpness to an almost over-done point.

Great tilt! I really like this and the scale is marvelous.

basically, it's 2 gradients in quick mask mode (one from the top and one from the bottom), then go back to regular mode and apply the gaussian blur to the selected areas. then just adjust the mask so that you don't blur elements of the photo that should be in the same DOF range (such as the NY NY structure).

Thanks for the feedback guys! :)
