it seems that a lot of excellent images scored a lot lower than they deserve in this challenge .. this is definitely one of them .. :)

The fisheye lens is quite effective for this photograph. Glad you kept the post-processing simple. 9

Interesting shot with well controlled exposure. The composition is good - and tricky in such a confined space, too.

A terrific capture, although the color appears to be just a little flatter than it should be. The author did avoid the temptation to over sharpen which is a plus. The white could have been reduced to give the windows some more detail which in this type of linear capture, would have been a huge plus. Lots of interesting details to peruse and speculate on. A very worthy entry into the challenge and a potential top twenty image.
