Just like with HDR only a few manage to pull it off using software only while retaining the intended technique.If you want to try this out yourself using software keep in mind that all parts of the area you want to keep un-shifted needs to be at the same distance from you. Or mask out what you want to keep and do the shifting on a separate layer.Nr 1, 5 and 10 uses wrong composition, or could benefit from a layered shift using a mask. They work initially for the first glance but your brain will see through it when both close and distant parts are in focus.Nr 2 and 7 uses tall buildings that keep in focus for their entire height while the areas surrounding them stay shifted. My guess would be they're using proper equipment, or advanced techniques. I’ll agree with kurakensama.

That's the only one thing; I like your idea anyway @MatStace With a real lens, the on-focus area is always equidistant to the camera. That’s the only one thing; I like your idea anyway

Even for gimmicky tilt shift. The compositon is horrible, and the tilt shift only makes it worse. It looks to me like a careless tourist shot that is also extremely out of focus.
