Woah, this looks mad. The sense of scale given here through your manipulation (I am assuming it is manipulated) makes it look like a toy set. I have noticed the toy set effect before with the basketball court. Anyway I'm liking this and your previous Hitchcock replica shots...
along with the surrealism, I like how those 3 people seem a little misplaced... a man dressed up at a carnival and and the other two are alone. Cool shot.
I'll be honest. Whilst I usually love these shops. this one just looks a little too surreal. Its that little girl on the left I think. It just doesnt feel quite right. Lovely colours in the rainly atmosphere though. :)
Thanks all, these shots really aren't supposed to look realistic, it's a play on reality :)

Kinda Japanesey feeling to this, I think it's the rain and the banners over the stand, like the one warriors carry in Kurosawa films.
Sinister, too. Nice to have a picture the viewer can find so much to take out of.
Wow...this looks like a music video of cardboard cutouts. Fabulous work with the depth of field and accenting the hot dog stand. This is a really interesting and fun image to look at!

Wow. The DOF kills here. It looks almost cartoonish with the high contrast. I love it.

Whoa, that's trippy. Was this photo altered at all? Doesn't look real at all (no offense if it is).

Aha, great use of this technique. You've really got to get yourself a Speed Graphic.

I love the miniature technique... though, I have no idea how to achieve it myself (do share!). Fantastic photo to use it on, and to great effect!

Like so many have said: Cool. I don't know what you did to get that effect but it is whacky cool.

Inventive post processing. The selective blurring and such makes it an interesting picture.

I can't stop coming back to this particular shot. It's amazing. Don't know what makes me want to stare at it, but it's certainly magnetic.
