Wow! If you could shrink that and put it in someones eye (as if it were there eye), that would be very cool. At first glance of the thumbnail view, that is what I thought it was.

Well Done, Christina. You really do look happy here, and have used that fisheye most effectively.

Cool lens, congrats on the blue!

Congratulations! I am not an expert on the technic side of photography, but I do love how this picture leaves so much room for imagination...

Thanks again for all your great feedback and votes. Just posting the lens again (I posted earlier but it's a little further down). I use the Nikkor 10.5mm 2.8 fisheye and I have a Nikon D70. I've had some great results with it so far and it's always in my camera bag. I highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in a fisheye.

That does it.. I'm getting a fisheye.. which one is this? 8mm? 10mm? 12?

I loved this shot. As a strong believer in the fun of the fish, it was awesome to see the lens used well. 10.5 DX?

I voted this one a 10. Congratulation's. My first though was this should be on a allergy product box or ad! Very well done and the fish-eye lens worked well with this shot.

Congrats on your Blue dreamy world. Dream on!

Thanks so much for your comments and votes. This ribbon is very exciting for me. I was using a Nikon D70 with a Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye lens. I set it up on a tripod and turned on the timer and then layed down in the flowers, less than a foot from the camera and this is the effect I got. It was a beautiful day and I thought about this challenge as soon as I saw the meadow.
Post actions
Congrat's Christina! Superb shot. It's not often I can pick the winning shot! (Not that the shots I picked aren't good, but the other voters usually don't agree with my taste!)
Post actions
Can you please set the lens for this shot? I'd love to know the exact one used.

Interesting effect. Fish eye? Nice, soft lighting on her face.
Post actions
Great use of the fisheye, well composed burning the sky a little on th left side would be nice, and a bit more saturation on the flowers. great image.......9
Post actions
I like the persepctive of this. One of the best in the challenge. Good luck.
Post actions
Cool use of fisheye lense and moving us inside the model's mind, into this dreamscape. Maybe they should add a new category to galleries!
Post actions
Returning for comment. Great concept, very well done. My pick for a ribbon! Top marks from me.
Post actions
Entirely sweet! This is an exceptionally good example of a use for a super-wide angle lens. The colors, the feel of the pic, the wonderful expression and pose of the dreamer--all work to convey the statement. Well done! Highest marks.
Post actions
I love this effect and well composed !
Post actions
I love the fisheye effect. Great expression captured here.
Post actions
this is nice...like the fish eye... don't care for the large blade of grass coming up over her hair.
Post actions
nice image. I really like the use of the fish eye here. Nice espression and light.
Post actions
Wow, excellent. Looks like the same work of the creator of "The World Revolves Around Us" No?
Post actions
nice W/A shot........8........

This is my second go-around =) - Excellent use of a fisheye lens... beautiful composition. Great job!!

Love the perspective. Not your typical "field of flowers" shot.
Post actions
I usually don't care for images from such lenses but this one really is beautiful and what scenery! Well done...
Post actions

I like the concept, title and the fish-eye perspective but I think this idea might have done more for me without the model. I don't know what was on top but you might have wanted to leave the trees uncut. Very nice clean shot otherwise. Good Luck!
Post actions
Absolutely beautiful. Very evocative. My only complaint is that it looks like the white balance is a little off. It feels just a tiny bit "muddy" colour-wise. Still a solid 9 though.
Post actions
Perfect Challenge for a fisheye lens. Good one!
Post actions
Wow! This is so cool looking! How did you DO that!!!! Awesome!
