Great consept playing with the sence of scale in such a way. ^_^ Even had me fooled till the artificialness took over.

In this Santiago one for example its not the foreground and background blurred out depending on distance but a vertical oriented blur effect.
Just look at that wall in front and to the right of it. Both has the same rate of blurring while clearly not at the same distance. Also the wall itself should have a more moderate and horizontal oriented increase/decrease of blur.
Looks like the effect used here was meant for a perfect plane base with the subject placed on the focused part. Only then it would be near the use of macro lens, i think.
Same goes for the other fakes.

The blurring in the foreground and background is similar to the was a photo through a macro lens may look with low F-stop values.

The blurs look quite artificial in all these. The city and the way the wall in front is half blurred makes no sence to me :P Nice miniatures i like ^_^
