Fake TILT / SHIFT from the top of Gloucester Cathedral...

addictive and fun and worth climbing the 250+ steps to the top for....

I really like number 2 and 4... the effect works best with those

^^^ Couldn't agree more. I usually can't stand this style, but here it actually really works. Nice

Good attempts although #3 does not work. (The stadium spoils it)

thanks for the comments....
I prefer most of these to the originals which look a bit bland now

Looks like a model town - how did you do these?

It's a graduated blur. My criticism is really that it's too obvious that it is a graduated blur and not macro miniature photography. 4 works well, as does 2 (although you've blurred the top of the church). 1 is OK but feels too heavy and 3 isn't enough.

Increase contrast by about 24
Increase saturation by about 42
Duplicate layer
Lens Blur - radius was about 65 I think
Add a layer mask
Cylindrical graduated fill ( I think it's called that in PS)
Keep reapplying the graduation until the effect looks good and then if necessary paint back in or out detail on the mask

That thought sprang to mind too, like a legoland town. Nice effect.
