Photo of a 1:1 model of the building and surroundings.

-Important Update|Note-: This is not a photo of a scale model, it is a photo of a building in Ebisu, Tokyo. This photo is my first attempt using Tilt-shift post-processing in photoshop to make it look like a miniature. I wanted to test if the effect was properly done by saying that is a photo of a 1:1 model but didn't give any explanation about it so here it goes. In architecture we refer to 1:1 model to the real size, it is a scale usually used for testing how are parts of buildings or structure are going to work or look like.
