old image I x-processed and added a 'blurry' layer mask too...(oh and a faux-frame thingy that I don't usually do)
c&c welcome as usual.

I like the idea, and I like the image - but I think that the blurring is far too intense right up close to the building. If it was more gradual I think it'd look more natural :)

looks a bit odd to me, like a plastic model...do a different one of a different subject cos I really like the idea ;)

Ahh is this that fake tilt n shift thing? I saw a website which described how to do it.....


Looking good :thumbs: I think a bit more cropped off the bottom to make the building more central (and less reflection) would be better IMO. Just IMO of course :)

yeah was a quickie to see how it came out, I think with a little more careful masking I'll get that red building in focus and smooth the gradient, was goin gfor that 'model' look...quite interesting - might have to have a go at other stuff now :D
