Well I decided to try the whole fake tilt shift thing again and make something real look like a toy model. These were taken at the Getty Museum in LA. Let me know what ya think!

#1 and 3 would have fooled me if you hadn't said they were real

I think #2 is the most realistic looking. Sky line helps

This is where a TS-E lens would be fun. It would help the first shot by making only the train in focus at an angle.

#2 has too much blur imo. I think in order to make the photo appear more believable, you shouldn't blur the left side of the photograph, as the focal point would travel horizontal.
