Okay not really but I just learned how to do that in Photoshop and thought it was a coolass effect. =] It's amazing how long you can be using this program and still learn new stuff.

And I might also want to learn how to spell Hollywood?

Cool beans. Mark give me a holler when you get the chance.

I learn something new in Photoshop everytime I open it up.

im am amature in photoshop so i learna lot everytime

Now if I could learn to use my camera much better I'd be in good shape. =]

Where is the smog and the news helicopters? Your Hollywood sucks:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i really am confused - what is the desired effect of whatever he's done to that photo? I see the background and foreground blurred - but i don't see how that makes it look like a mini-Hollywood set built in his basement.

i feel like i'm looking at one of those optical illusion things and everybody gets it but me.

It's a blur on a mask and increased saturation and contrast. Looks like a little Leggo world model to me. The tutorial I used is here:
