Composition photography

Whilst I haven't truly finished exploring forced perspective photography ideas, I thought I'd take a quick detour via composition and tilt shift fake miniature photography and find some good examples of work that look real. The composition photos will look real but couldn't possibly be and the miniatures will be as expected. I think this might be a challenge because obviously the appeal of composition photo's is that the creator is unlikely to let you know whether it's real or not because they wanted to keep the audience guessing, it's a bit like magic, you know that what you've seen can't be real but you can't explain how it was done!!

Well I've found a couple of tilt shift fake miniature photos of interest, but are they miniature sets or are they real environments made to look like miniature sets?
I think in some cases the blur on the distance areas is slightly over the top but decide for yourself!

I thought it was important to add a couple of links to wikipedia that describe the concept of tilt shift photography and fake miniature tilt shift photography.

I realise that we're going slightly off track here but I think that's the interest of free organic learning!!

Here are some fake composition photos that are posing as real ones.
