What is it about tilted images that make them look like minatures? I can't quite figure it out...

Very nice! This accomplished the old fashioned way? Or with a new fangled filter?

Sad to say, its not with the lens, just some PP.

But I still like it

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

I like it. However even if you shot this with a LF Camera it would have been
shifted instead of tilted.

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?

good colors. I like the processing. I wonder what it would have looked like pushing the focus to one of the sides.

Can you explain this more?

I'm completely unfamiliar with any sort of photo like this.
