Miniature Prague

my first real attempt at faking Tilt Shift....original was taken by myself in Prague, Spring '07... feel free to let me know what you think!

Nice shot.  I would suggest that you keep most of the bridge in focus as well as the boat and boat house.  Then increase the saturation of the blue and red on the boat, and the green of the boat house.  I think this will really help make the image pop in the fake T/S style.

thanks for the constructive crits....may call for some selective masking, or tricky history brushwork...this was quite a quick and dirty method, I will possibly return to see what I can do!...I have a whole bunch of suitable pics (especially of Mt Etna) that I intend to have some fun with!
