This miniaturization technique is so cool. I keep looking at the pictures that use this processing method trying to work out what makes the eye think it is miniture.
The tilt shift wins for me, It looks fantastic. This looks like the scene from a little experience I had which is now refered to as "the escape from Chicago" We had difficulty finding the signs pointing back to Indiana (where we had driven from that day). It got nasty but we got out and onto the correct freeway. Then it really got fun. At least we laugh about it now :-)
interesting. I like the point of view (does not look miniature to me). What I like best about this is realizing how sharp and in focus everything in your pictures usually is. (I liked the original better also)
