Thanks for providing the link for this. I have Photoshop CS & will definitely be trying this. I'll post some when they are done.

Very cool effect- it works very well from the high perspective.

These are fantastic!  I was looking at them and thought they were of a model!  Does Photoshop have this filter?

I'm not sure if there is a filter in all photoshops for this, but I think I recall there being one on the newer versions.

It's not really too hard to make your own mask filter for the effect, or even do it quick-n-dirty by hand.  Just boost the saturation very bright and colorful, make a duplicate layer, apply gaussian blur as much as you like, then take the erase tool and with varying opacity, wipe out the middle section for where the focus point will be.  Don't wipe it out evenly...the ragged edges or slight angle add a bit of believability to it.  feather the eraser tool so the opacity fades at the edges and you'll get a gradual fade to blur.

You just want the sections of the photo that are closer to you and farther from you to be blurred while some point near the middle distance is in focus.

another something for me to try and learn, those shots really do look like photos of models incredible
