The curvature brought on by the lens adds a nice layer of complexity to this. Very nicely done.

Interesting effect with a turn of nature.

Nice colours and sky. really wide angle would love to see somebody in this pic with so much evidence on the beach. Had this been otherwise it would have been just a plain simple calm natural scene - sand untouched, allone on the beach

i get almost dizzy looking at this, as the horizon seems to shift and sway

Not a lot going on in this pic but the clouds are very interesting and the pink horizon line is eye catching

The distortion suits the shot well. love the little details you manage to capture all the way in the background. A little lacking in maybe foreground interest. 7

This must be taken with a fisheye. Very interesting and sucesfull way of using it

Now this is what I dislike about HDR, taking a perfectly acceptable, tranquil scene with nice clouds and making it look like a disaster area. Good shot otherwise.

I really like this - the lens distortion matches the scene very well indeed.

Wonderful energy here.

I like the scene, though I'm not a fan of the fisheye look for this image. It's a good effort to try and present a common scene in a different manner, but it does not seem to work for me. That of course, is just a personal preference thing, and I will be surprised if this entry does not soundly beat my own.

nice detail and color. I can't quite match the title to the scene though.

Love the clouds and that fisheye distortion.

I like the curve of the lens. I like the dramatic sky. I don't like the HDR, sorry.

Sweet sky. The lonely beach. Sure made a great shot.

Interesting take on a standard beach scene. I think the fisheye has worked well for you here, it's turned what otherwise would be a fairly normal shot into something much more interesting.
