While walking through the grounds of St Mary's College in Moraga, CA looking at the beautiful Christmas decorations, this walkway caught my eye - enough so that I went back home to retrieve my rarely-used fisheye.
Architecture often intrigues me.

Wow!
Like: center point, lines
dislike: front left column chopped, it would have a much bigger effect if a person is walking away from the front toward the centre point.
Nice!

Wonderful image. However, to my eye it needs to be rotated a few degrees counter-clockwise. I would encourage you to experiment with that a little and see what you think.

Cool idea. Now we know how things look through the eye of a fish

John, the far end of the walkway is exactly level, which is what I based the comp on.
No "experimentation" needed.

The fisheye is very effective with this one, Sandy. It turned out well.

We went from seeing fisheye images everywhere to hardly seeing them anymore. Trends are funny. I am not seeing many in-camera movement images anymore either. The trends of photography.
