It is also a scientific outlook! The combination of the light and the shadow are terrific! The point of view provides a stylish sight and lovely details.
Best regards: Maxime

Great shot. Love how the repetition of the light and shadow is mirror by the flags. Both versions are very nice. :) Andree

Roger - I have no real religious view regarding fisheyes. I guess the acceptance of distortion has more to do with how good it looks and does it work as an artistic piece. I don't know if every one appreciates the challenge in visualizing either very wide angle work or fisheyes or even panoramas. The real point is how do YOU like it.
Cheers - John B who is not as frequent at UseFilm as he would like to be

It's mutual, Hugo. Your friendly and perceptive comments were a feature of Usefilm that helped to make me a member--and keep me a member despite strong personal dissatisfaction with other aspects at times. I admire your use of this fisheye lens, which I am finding every bit as good as the glowing reports. Panorama stitchers who use the Canon full-frame 5D are trimming off the vestigial lens hood of this lens and using it as a CIRCULAR fisheye, as which it peforms remarkably well!

Hi Roger,
Long time no see! Nice to see you're still around too...:) How've you been? I like this use of light and shadows, well exposed. I rather like the fish eye, it takes things out of perspective nicely, adding a surprising dimension to the photo, reduycing the somewhat static composition, if you know what I mean.
Cheers,
hugo

Thanks, John. Apart from the fact that Usefilm has now tightened up things so that images submitted with comments are now resized to usual limits, instead of being unlimited like panoramas, and therefore degraded like this one, here, I think I agree that it works better as a panorama. However, when there are people, especially in the corners of the image, the fact that shapes are less distorted in equiangular fisheye than in rectilinear images makes the fisheye the better choice.

It's a very fresh shot with the orange and greys, but to be honest I think I prefer the perspective of the vertical panorama - it just seems more appropriate to the subject and gets rid of the distortion.
