 This is Little Island off of West Falmouth on Cape Cod. This was taken with my 15mm fish eye lens pointing downwards which creates the curvature of the earth and dramatically changes the size of distant objects. The boulder on the left is over 14 feet high.

Nice scene, though I am not seeing any sigh of what I thought was the tilt-shift look. Perhaps a different or more subtle use of it?


Added: I researched it a bit, and it appears I was incorrect in my understanding of the applications for tilt-shift. From Wikipedia:
Such lenses are frequently used in architectural photography to control perspective, and in landscape photography to get an entire scene sharp.

Bumping my vote up.

confusion sets in which I look at this image compared to the other images.. is this a "true" tilt shift with an actual lens or photoshop editing... who knows.. it IS a gorgeous image..

Except for the weird green lines on the big boulder...it is an overal pleasing image. Don't see the tilt-shift much...but worth a 6 in my opinion.
