I took some shots from the highest point near my house (7 story parking garage) yesterday.
I'm still learning how to tweak the processing...

What do you think? Any Comments?

Thanks all!!

    I like both but prefer the second one, because they look like toys.

    Both are really good...but think I like #2 best. I played with it a bit yesterday... didn't get as good of results as you did. Back to drawing board. :)

    Thanks for the comments!

    These were just my first go around. Now that I have a good idea of angles and types of things to shoot I will look for more interesting things. I will say the processing starts out simple but the tweaks get pretty involved. Makes my eyes hurt after awhile :D

    I'm also a fan of #2 because it has the more toy like appearance that's associated with tilt-shift. I wish there was a little less sky or brightness at the top - not sure if cropping down you'd be able to keep the same effect - but it's a little distracting from the subject. I myself haven't tried this yet. Thanks for sharing, GP

    Both look great. I like #1 because of the trees, grass and water but #2 does have more of a toy look.

    I kinda like #1 better - maybe it's the colors that grab me, might be the water & comp. I agree it doesn't look as toy-ish, so if that's the goal, maybe #2 is better.
