Incredible Tilt Shift Photo May Not Actually Be Tilt Shift, Is Still Pretty Incredible (PHOTO)

We stumbled upon this stunning image and were quick to praise the miniature-looking seascape, but fellow Redditors were not as impressed.


LaxManKetchum uploaded the image calling it "Incredible Tilt Shift Photography," but a few online admirers jumped to point out that the technique used was not in fact tilt shift but Photoshop blurring, which doesn't sound at all as impressive. One commenter even created an improved version of the photograph.
