Really like this picture but I think the border takes away from it being a knock out shot.

I like the contrast of the photo itself, but for me the border is too overpowering and detracts from the contents of the photo. Makes me think of an early television set.

Like the fisheye effect, and the general bleakness added to by the sign. More definition in the clouds would be nice. 8.

Really cool effect, I'm interested in how you achieved that sort of distortion.

whats the dealio with the 70stv screen frame? It is pulling down a otherwise fab image.

Great reflection. I think it would be better without the sign-style frame.

Very nice fish eye effect. The leading line draws you to the rear of the image. I like the sign which grounds the shot. Nicely done. 8

Superb shot and meets the challenge very well. Not sure the border is legal however, unless it was physically in place when the image was taken. Good luck.
