I'm a big fan of fishe eye but this is not so apealing as others seen before. But nice fitting in to challenge mood.

Lovely use of fish-eye from an unusual vantage point.

Lens envy...

Nice perspective, great colors, great focus/clarity. I love the tones, its got a nice richness and I of course love the textures surrounding the whole picture. The only nitpick I have would be to crop it a bit more on the left to get rid of what looks like a glare spot in the bottom left. Nicely done. I gave a 7.

Love the sky, but not sure about the fisheye lens for this photo.

Love it. The fisheye emphasizes the ominous feeling. I also like that you can just barely make out the clouds in the sky. To me it's better than were it solid black. I find the flare at the lower left to be minimally distracting, but not enough to keep me from voting high on the image.
