That's fantastic, RPM!
Found a really great night time picture (won't tell you where it is since I want to see if anyone knows ) and thought it would be perfect for really getting detailed with the depth of field and going crazy with gradients going in various directions to really pick up the curves and such. There are a couple areas that I discovered I missed after viewing the final result, but I used some different techniques this go around to allow me to keep the DoF layers separate and easy to edit to fix over sights and such.
I think it turned out fairly decent, but need to fix a couple things perhaps at a later date.
Somewhere in London - but I have no clue where.

What makes you think it is London? Is there a certain element that is only found there? Just curious as I've never been there, and I've always wondered if there are certain elements that would only be found in the US or even only in certain states. I would think that places that were once in the British Empire would share characteristics, but to narrow it down to London must mean something in the pic is specific to that location... or at least makes you think it is London.

Looks great RP!
(And oddly enough the two thumbnails have a wicked little cross eye stereogram effect, too THink it is because the one is blurred...)

Thanks RobA! I'm getting better entirely thanks to your DoF tutorial. If I didn't have that to go off of, I would still be using the boring method...
That's Picadilly Circus in London. The signage and the statue of Eros in the centre of the roundabout are the main markers. Great tiltshift! And the stereogram effect is pretty cool too!
Ding, ding ding! Yes you are correct. My feux pas with the picture name almost spoiled it. Thanks to SG for pointing out my oversight... Have to be more careful in the future.
So back to my question to SG, are there any identifying characteristics that are only found in London, other than landmarks that is?
