taken using my tiffen 0.56 wide converter. clearly a lot of distortion (and i cropped out the worst). not sure how to fix problem (except try to have the subject always centered and crop worst off the sides). sharpened, increased saturation and slight decrease in gamma.

CC: I love how you have used your lens in this particular shot. I can see that it is a little blurry, but it's just a minor flaw. The clouds are just awesome and the way you have captured this picture overall makes the sky look very dramatic. If you took this in B&W on a really overcast day and did a little manipulation in PS, it would certainly be a more dramatic photo (just a suggestion). I really like how you have captured those buildings with peaks on them it adds to the dramatic feel. Overall a great picture and certainly meets the challenge. Excellent job and well done.
Are you using an unusual lens. The cityscape appear to be rounded and all leaning toward the center. The sky and clouds are beautiful, but the bottom 1/10 of the photo ruins the sky. Flatten out the horizon and you have a winner.
Interesting composition - it makes those towering buildings seem incredibly insignificant. As a cityscape it's not that good - not enough city, but as a photo it's quite interesting. There is some distortion from the lens (buildings on each edge lean in) which you could process out if you were going to print this image, although it would probably not be allowed in the competition.
a lot of potential but seems somehow a little too blury. these type of wide angle things really benefit from being sharp as a tack. a sharpen filter might have helped here.
I'm a bit confused by the lack of a definite subject (us of little brain are easily confused). The clouds are nice and the color is superb, but nothing ties it all together, which leaves me, the viewer, with sort of a, well... confusion.
I liked this overall. Maybe showing a bit of the ground to help set perspective a little better. It does appear a little dark too - maybe enhance the levels a little better. Good job.
