heheh, if you had made the smoke look like it was made from cotton balls, it would have been 100%!

very nice work author...without smoke this would be look like a toy car race...best of luck

just a tad bit more saturation on the plane..contrast on the hand (it'll kick it over the top.. make it more toy like.. other than that... AWESOME)... it's like a boyhood dream LOL

(and just a nit pic.. TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR OWN HAND.. hehehe.. makes it that much more personal... hehehe)

GREAT Job!!!

Thanks for the nudge Slushman!

well you do need nudging... err umm.. is it 420 YET?.. giggle snort

Good job with the tut, author. I kind of agree about the hand, Drivenslush, but in this particular case, the young hand (and its shadow) helps give the illusion that the plane IS a toy.

very nice work author...in high resolution plane really look like a toy...best of luck

It looks beautiful, like a little maquette, but how come you didn't focus on the small village instead of the island?

i personally like landscapes much more than actual buildings. plus the 'astro turf' look wasnt easy to achieve. the hue and saturation's i played around with till it came out as such. other reason was to far in the corner of the image, and i didnt want the focul point to be a corner of a picture, but in the middle. even if i had cropped it. the image woulda been smaller as to which i didnt think would be a great 'tilt shift' image.

thanks for your comment's tho

i like it very much, good luck!

This looks nice!

Very Nice

I MISS NEW YORK.... great job author

great job............

very nice catch author...great source image and so cool tilt shift....gl

Really cool shot here! I don't get this contest but this one really sticks out to me.

The shadow of the hand is too close, it makes your image look flat...

Shadow Removed. Thanks erikuri.
