Why don't we see more tilt-shift around?

This has very quickly become my single most viewed image on Flickr. It's a fake tilt-shift using photoshop. I can only attribute this level of interest to two things - the popularity of the tilt-shift group and to the faddishness of tilt-shift.

I'm just amazed more ads don't use the technique - or maybe it's too mainstream to be cool anymore. Creatives - what do you think?

I've following the tilt shift thing. It's got the same sort of faddishness at the HDR experiments appearing on flickr. Could you point me at the b est tilt shift 'how to' so I can join in with the trends?

Sure. I used the one at http://recedinghairline.co.uk/tutorials/fakemodel/ although I find my 'apply mask' doesn't do the same thing as the tutorial. Mine is kind of in reverse, so I use a very short stroke of the gradient tool. Wish I could be more precise though. Let me know if you find something better?
