An old photo seemed to suit miniaturisation.... I didn't plan on miniaturisation when I took this however.

Thanks for your C&C.

Perfectly done....

Yes this is great I must give it a go some time..

Neat shot Surenj. Would you be able to explain your technique, I'm not familiar with it.

May I ask what the technique is?

Cheers

Thanks guys,

I have increased saturation (to make it look cartooney) and applied a graduated blur to the upper and lower parts of the image. I think this tricks the eye into thinking it's a miniature.

The other, better option is to shoot with a tilt shift lens. [which I don't have]

The hard thing is to find the right photo to apply it.

FYI there is whole flickr group dedicated to this technique!

interesting technique...i was wondering how you managed it. Looks great

Very interesting photo,

I think the graduated blur of the forefront needs a little tweaking so that the trees and building are blurred, but the soccer pitch is a little more in focus. The line across is too sharp

But I can definitely see the miniaturization 'look' in the photo!

Cheers
Tom

Thanks Cameron.

I agree. I will rework this one. [hope I have the PSD file....]

Thanks for your comments.

thats a very interesting shot and PP work suren, I quite like it, it does look very much like a model scene or similiar, as tommyg mentioned a bit tweaking will tidy it up also!

Thanks Gerry,

I have reworked the image but the differences are subtle especially on the 800pix.

Second version for me now that all the players are in focus.

Nice..

Thanks Mark, good observation!

Thanks all for your comments.
