Took me a minute to realize there is a space in the url, thus breaking it.

Really neat find, though.  Weird how having a blurry foreground and background makes the centered subject look like a miniature.

Fixed the URL in OP, sorry (pasted from mobile phone) ... yeah an amazing result from simply using a special lens (and likely cranking up the contrast vividness of the colors, by the looks of it -- is most of the world in RL so damn Willy Wonka colorful?? )


PS: The reason I posted the URL I did is because WOW it was way more than just a bunch of cool photos, on that page there's also a TON of informational links, lots of tutorials and whatnot.

e.g. http://martybugs.net/blog/blog.cgi/photoshop/tutorials/TiltShiftTutorial.html
