This is a really interesting and entertaining use of a fisheye lens! This to me is exactly the kind of thing they should be used for!

Love the fact you've included people and traffic along the bottom as well, it really works well. I also really like the fact that you've kept the sun flare, it works well.

This image should be hung in the lobby of the building of which I'm assuming the big circle thing belongs to, you should see if they will buy it! 8.

I love fisheyes when they are used right and this is a case in point...I love the way the scene envelopes you...8

The people at the bottom are distracting. Takes away from the cool reflections and building at the top.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression: Wish I'd taken it. Lovely, and would have been an easy 9 from me in voting.

Technical: Great use of ambient light, pov works beautifully, comp could arguably be seen as a little centred but this kind of shot calls for it. Wonderful use of negative space. PP seems to be just fine.

Artistic: Actually another glance at the top part of pic reveals a slight list to the right, which enhances the sensation of vertigo. Like the way the sky seems to form a giant '1'.

FWIW/Overall: the only change I'd make would be one pass with sharpen edges, after unsharp mask, just to give the tops of the buildings just that little more sharpness.

Very good shot, you just finished out of the ribbons but in the top 10, and here that is nothing to sneeze at!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan
