Tilt shift + Photoshop experiment.
I am hopeless with Photoshop. Utterly hopeless.
Here's a shot I'm trying to get right, but it just looks shiite:
What could I do better? I'm wanting to give a print to the elderly owners of this bar who I've known for years, but I'd like a better one than this.

I see a couple of things that take away from the pic:
-white fringing on the hand and tweezers. Re-crop the original using the Magnetic Lasso tool and 0 feathering OR reshoot the pic of the hand and minimize the white bouncing on it.
-the lighting of the skier in tweezers could use a little help. Use the Burn tool to darken the underside.
-looks like the light is coming straight down, putting down a shadow on the ground beneath the hand may help with the realism. The Burn tool can take care of that.

Less blur IMO, if you blurred it in photoshop. I never blur mine that heavily.

Ark's suggestion of shading the ground makes it pop! 
Cheers everyone!

I didn't notice the one car in the first pic. the second one I thought you actually added it.
Very cool improvements.

it's still a bit too saturated for my tastes, but tastes vary.

The whole over-saturation lends to the 'toy town' effect.
I hope.

I hope you didn't print that tiny jpg version?
Verify the print size in Photoshop Image > Image Size > Document Size (not pixel size). If you blow up a 4 x 6 to 8.5 x 11, it's not going to look very good. With images you are actually going to print, you want to try and start with a full-size original and scale down if needed.
