Greetings from the Critique Club!
You under rated yourself. With a 6.008 and a 30th place, you did some things right! You"ve created an interesting image here using the 8mm to warp and create curves. It take this image out of the ordinary and adds appeal in a challenge that could be very repetative. The ghost lens is a very nice effect and leaves the viewer wondering "How?"
Composition: Having the tripod and lens in the center works well for you here. The curved lines created by the lens keep leading the eye back to the lens. You've been able to keep the most important vertical line at vertical.
The diagnol line created by the hanging lamp is distracting to me. The stong contrast, plus the halos and artifacting really draw the eye away from the main focus, the lens. Some ways of remedying it would include: a different placement on the lens so that the hanging lamp would be over the lens creating a vertical line and leading the eye to the lens, or changing the method of resizing to eliminate the "jaggies" (bicubic smoother helps when reducing diagnol lines) or changing the method of sharpening since this is adv editting or cleaning up the halo and jaggies in PP.
Technicals: Your ghosting effect is right on target. You've been able to keep the shadow and image while creating the ghosting effect with the wall and window blinds showing through. The natural vingetting around the outer edges is a nice effect. It allows the composition to work and allows the pull of the eyes to the lens. You are clear and sharp, with little oversharpening (just the lamp and cord). Your choice of aperature, ISO and shutter speed work very well here and were essential to creating the image effect.
Meeting the Challenge: Your room was clearly empty. The light fixture did not seem to cause you any issues, nor should it. Photo freaks (which we tend to be) understand what an L lens is and how it might haunt a Canon owner. You may have lost a 0.1 or so from the Nikon owners, but that's to be expected. (Just a joke!) This image would work very well in a photography challenge.
Overall: You've created a very nice image with a unique interest. While it has some small technical difficulties, it is a very pleasing image with a strong photography connection.

| Unsure of the message here, but a nicely done fisheye image. It is very beautifully done image and should be a top finisher. The only defect is the haloing and jaggies on the fixture above the camera. |

Two exposures, I guess? In any case, you borrowed your neighbours tripod, didn't you :-)
Nice picture ... |

This is an interesting effect. The wide lens that you used makes the image look bowed. This makes the crop look like it bulges at the top and sides! Great optical illusion.

Nope. Doesn't count. You've only used 1/2 an item for this image. ;^)
The wide angle lens adds additional interest to this capture. Would have liked it a bit more I think if the "ghost" was more opaque/faded. Good luck in the challenge. |

| I can see what you were trying to do (I think) but the distortion in the lines throws it off for me a bit. |
