the fact that the water is not prominent makes this pic kind of surreal. Cool!

I'd like to join with a glass of white wine
I'm undecided yet if I find the fact that the car is cropped on both sides disturbing or interesting. But the fact I have to think about it is good.

this is like a film set - I can imagine some classic cars stopping here, the drivers in suits smoking cigarettes

Here's a bit of an explanation:

This is the Olympic Park in Munich – photographed from a small hill in the middle of the complex, which is called Olympiaberg (which is far from being a mountain!). You can see the stadium with its tent-like roof, the TV tower, and the small lake. The whole thing was built for the 1972 Olympic Games and is now used as a park.

To achieve this effect, you used to have to create a panorama and then shape it into a sphere using "polar coordinates" in Photoshop. Now there are apps that do this in seconds. You just have to make sure that the ratio between ground/city/landscape and sky is roughly the same on both sides of the image; otherwise, you'll get an unsightly edge in the small globe.

Architecture can almost always be improved by adding a human element – ​​and this is no exception. Great scene!
The man's posture is a bit odd though – it reminds me of a gorilla scratching itself.

Oh, that's something different. I like how the lines develop from a jumble into order.
