 This is the central bus station in Nagoya city. In the background a TV tower.
I took this photo just after buying my new toy, an 8mm fisheye lens. I really didn't know what I was doing - just playing. I love the weird perspective and distorted lines - could be that it's not everybody's taste ...

WOW! Now that is some freaky architecture. I am really glad you photographed this at night to really bring out the detail while eliminating a distracting sky. I often wonder what cities are thinking when they build elaborate structures like this (after all, it's a bus station, right?). But then again I am glad they do put this "eye candy" out for the public to enjoy. It's art and architecture.

Love the light and color here! Great work! You really made something so ordinary look great. Definately my favorite for creativity. Good angle as well

the fish eye distortion is a little bit disorienting, but it works really well with the local space ship station

crazy stuff - I like, but would have liked to see it with WB closer to white

Seems too heavily weighted to the right side ... the structures here don't seem very fisheye-friendly, and the person (whether you wanted him there or not) is trivialized by the lens and lost in the shadows, so he doesn't add anything.
