What is it about tilted images that make them look like minatures? I can't quite figure it out...
We unconsciously expect macro shots of miniatures and models to have shallow DoF. That look is sort of replicated (though not exactly) with a T/S lens, and it's the only case where a wide angle, distant view will have a lot of out of focus elements in the foreground and background.
I'm guessing it has something to with that, at least...

I always thought that when you look at something smaller and closer to your eye you see a shallower dof. and thats how it translates to tilt/shift photos. but that wouldnt explain why when you see a flower with a minuscule dof it doesnt look miniature. hrrm

The brain knows that buildings are huge, but it also knows that shallow DOF is only possible at macro scale. The only way for the brain to solve the paradox is to consider the buildings as a miniature.
Flowers are in the macro world already, so shallow DOF is not paradox.
This is a killer shot! I truly thought it was shifted. I know how to simulate t/s images in pp but your bokeh looks so natural or authentic I should say. Do you mind sharing your method of t/s simulation?
