My Little Train
No, not Thomas the Tank Engine, but my experiment in making images that look tiny, but aren't. I used Topaz Lens Effects to blur the top and bottom thirds of the image. If you work at it, you can imagine a tiny model train with tiny people standing around.

Quite imaginative!!!!!!!! I thought at first it was a toy train and wondered at all the details! Nice.
Wow, I'm with Hazel. I too thought it was a toy train at first! Very creative with blurring the top and bottom and the visual impact it has on the image. I really like the detail of the red lights on either side of the tracks, they create a bit of a frame to encourage the tunnel vision straight to the oncoming train itself. Excellent!
It does look like a toy train! I agree with Nancy about the effectiveness of the red lights framing the image. Nice work, Kerry

Wonderful use of the miniaturize effect, or whatever it is called! Perfect subject, and an unusually casual and relaxed location for a train (even a metro), for me. Love the upsweep of the tracks in the FG.
You did a great job with making this look like a model train. That is what I thought it was!!!!
