Small Town

This turned out beautifully, Karen! The trees and buildings are so colorful, too!

Thanks, Val. I added a little saturation but it was a pretty scene anyway. :))

Ein gelungener Beitrag zum Thema dieser Challenge und fantastische Farben!

Happy SSC!

Thanks so much, Thorsten! :)

jolie petite ville américaine ! on s ' attend à voir Barbie et Ken se promener dans les rues :-)

Merci beaucoup! That's so funny, Nautilus. I actually have a vintage Barbie collection. :))

belle ambiance automnale et joli graphisme

Merci, annaig. :)

Great miniature effect, nice town and colors!

Danke, Dida!

très bien réalisé et efficace

Merci, Dan.

nice and colorful

Thanks, Wierd.

Herbst im Spielzeugland!

:D

Die Bäume im Vordergrund passen Perfekt.
Auch die tiefe im Bild zeichnet sich hervorragend ab.

Danke, Katja!

'Fotor' worked far better than Pic Monkey for this challenge, Karen, but you also chose a good vantage point. I didn't go high enough.

Thank you, Amelia. I read that a 45 degree angle was best so I wanted to get up high.

...it must be funny to live in such a colorful city;)...with the music track super...

It has its moments. Thanks, Erika. :)

I am hearing Mr Rogers's neighbourhood song.

Lol. :D

This has worked a treat, Karen. Definitely a very well chosen viewpoint. I think it was a good idea to increase the saturation a bit. I don't know why but it seems to me that when the saturation is increased the miniature effect is enhanced :-) A spot-on musical match. It is a little bit spooky because for some while I have had this video on a shortlist waiting for the right photo :-) Hal's "Sure Love" is also on the shortlist :-) Hal Ketchum is one of my all-time favourite artists. I have most of his albums. I don't know if I have said this before but very, very many moons ago we had tickets to see Hal 'Live in Concert' but sadly he was taken ill and the concert was cancelled. I know Hal has suffered a number of health issues over the years but a few months ago I was devastated to read that Hal was no longer able to tour because he is now suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. Such a cruel world!

Thank you, Karen, for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Thanks so much, Roger. I think the over saturation must be common in miniature sets maybe? :)

Oh, that is so sad to read about Hal. I know he had a lot of back problems and had gained a lot of weight but I didn't know about the other problems. SO sad for such a neat guy. :(

And we really are on the same wavelength with our "shortlists" lol. I love it! :D

Vibrant, delightful scene

Thanks, Gillian!

Wonderful photographic effect with the look of a child. A beautiful town with very human dimensions and a striking chromaticism in the foliage of trees. All the best, Anton.

That is such a nice compliment. Gracias, Anton! :)

Without reading the text, the first impresssion was really, it looks like a miniature. Workes very well!

I'm so glad. Thank you, Berny!

Beautiful iconic small town capture!

Thanks very much, William. :)

Ein Ort in wundervollen Farben.
Fabelhaft gemacht mit dem Miniatureffekt, Karen

Danke sehr, Heide. :)

A lovely image, particularly with the autumn tones, Karen. I've never tried this miniature effect, I must do so.

I look forward to seeing what you do. It's really fun. Thanks, George. :)

You achieved the goal, the colours are stricking, adding to the "model look"

Obrigado, Isabel. :)

A small "Small Town" Very well done!

Danke, Henning.

Perfect, Karen !

Hi Karen,

It certainly does look like you met the objective of making it look like a miniature village! Excellent view point, and certainly enhancing the colour worked, which in its own right makes a pretty picture!
Of course I remember Roxy Music.. Still have their first LP on vinyl... saw them live a couple of times, but unfortunately the T-shirt hasn't survived the years! (But maybe a photo somewhere of me wearing it!)

Best wishes
Peter

Hi again Karen,
Just as a postscript, being interested in what you have done here (and keen to understand), I did a bit of reading and found a series of articles, of which this is maybe most relevant..

Thank you for the interesting article, Peter. :) Shooting from directly above or at just a slightly higher angle really can make for some great possibilities.

And I am just learning about Roxy Music this weekend. Norbert gave me some good links up above and I do like what I've heard. :)

That's really great.

Danke, Reyk.

I love small towns, especially as they are american ones (not that I would have lots of experience with small or large ones, but usually over here we only get the huge ones offerd in movie or picture) ;-)
Very well processed, I like the effect.
Just got in mind: "Make America small (therfore beautiful) again. ;-)

Yes please, let's make America beautiful again. It has great possibilities. :)

Thank you, Leon.

I am sure about that!

:)

An inspired choice for the challenge! A perfect elevated viewpoint and lovely saturated colours all enhance the toy effect.

Danke sehr, Gudrun. I really appreciate that. :)

Wonderful use of the tilt shift effect.
