Not particulary fond of the fisheye in this instance.

Too much fish-eye is distracting from the subject.

The fish eye is interesting, but I would perhaps reduce exposure.

Nice work!

cool

Its a beautiful shot; albeit a literal interpretation. I gues there is some neat allusion to skewed perspective. Looks like a great use of shadow and dodge and burn here.

I think 'diocese' refers to the domain of the see, rather than this cathedral which I presume is the seat of it. I could well be wrong.
Nice interior pic. bit blown out to the right and fish-eyed etc., but luverly stuff...

Great wide angle shot!

Wow, really beautiful. Love the wide angle/fish eye look.

This should win. The fisheye works well, colouring great, with the only distraction being the burnout on the RHS - 9

Great fisheye view! The blown windows on the right is a slight distraction but a wonderful church!

I love how the use of the wide angle lens and the resulting distortion pulls your eye to the front of the church. Nice job!

Don't like the fisheye look. IMHO it looses the immensity of the cathedral

Good shot...wish I could point out what exactly I like, but I can't finger it. I just like it and that's good enough for me. Hope you do well.

nice

I don't like the fish eye view, makes me dizzy...but that's just me.

Interesting use of wide angle lens but not sure you needed to go that extreme. Perhaps a 28-30 mm lens would have been a better choice? I don't know. The light on the right is a little overpowering and pulls the attention away from what should be the focus of the piece. One of the things a fisheye does is make the viewer's eye want to move around the entire image more and the highlights on the right fight that.

not bad at all... a 7
 05/10/2006 02:38:57 PM
whoa! that's kooky. The fact that the windows are completely blown out takes something away though.

love the fisheye. quite intesting 7

Like the distorted view, perspective and colours.

nice distortion
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The distortion by the wide angle lens is so exaggerated, that I assume it was intentional. I think I would prefer a less evident impact from the lens, but overall, a nice shot.

Highlights are pretty hot but I still like the shot.

rocking.. rocking... nice... nice...nice...

OH man those windows!!! They distract so much.

Great use of the lens to bring out all the detail. It draws me into the picture.

Looks Dali-esque!
