Lol, that's fine. Can't help much with the busy out of focus aspect as it was packed with people.
The point of the exercise was really to get myself used to the lens in an unpredictable shooting environment with people as it is a manual focus lens.

Love the colours, hate the effect sorry
Surely that can be done as quickly with a blur layer in ps? Still interested to see where this goes when you have had more practice but not my cup of tea
Tilt/shift is not everyone's cup of tea, probably because it is not an every day lens, I only know of one of other photographer who has it. Plus it is not how our eyes see the world, the lens basically is distorting the world as we see it.
The popular blur effect that came about as a result of those toy town looking photos, and people wanted to copy it in their computer who can't afford a T/S lens.
Then it spread like wild fire, i remember I tried it too !
The point of a Tile/shift is the total ability of control the focal plane, not making toy towns. People just seem to relate tilt/shift to that exclusively which is very misunderstood, that is just a by-product of its effect.
You can't fake this below. The focal plane is running from the door handle do the fence. it is clear where it intersect and out of focus where things are not.
The aim is to have even more control of the focal plane than a regular lens. Not just depth of field, but also direction.
And there is also the shift aspect which I haven't used.

I have the 16-35 mk1, but not tried the other 2 you mention, might upgrade at some point but it works fine and it's 2.8 which is what I want. The 17-40 supposed to be sharp with less distortion but it's F4, the mkii has even less distortion but it's twice what I paid for my mk1.
One day, there are more important things before upgrading this.
