Wanted to try something a little different. Instead of making a life size scene look miniaturized, pick an already miniaturized scene and do a selective focus on it in order to achieve an even more miniatured look, something like it was shot from an airplane or something.

Way to think out side the box but still coloring in the lines! Love the different spin on the typical tilt shift. Nice details on this city block. Oh look! It even has a miniature China Town.
This has good foreground and background defocus/blur where I would think the focused portion of the scene is a miniature scene. With that said, I'm spending a lot of time trying to figure out if this is a good example of tilt shift work that has captured a real scene to look like a miniature; or is this a capture of a actual miniature scene. I'm leaning toward an actual miniature diorama. Whatever the case, this pic fits the tilt shift challenge well, it has the look, it has interest in the scene (people, cars, buildings, etc.) Good luck with the voting.
