Many thanks for all the comments. As some have noted, it was raining when I took this last minute shot, and it is hard to protect a fisheye lens from having rain fall on it. Some of the blobs in the sky (and the ground if you look closely) are caused by rain falling on the lens during the exposure.

Nice leading lines, I think the distortion from the wide angle lens actually adds to the pic, I am sure you will get comments that say the opposite, but I feel it really works well here.
Could have been better with a clean lens and without the construction works - hehe.. But the picture is very nice - striking colors and a nice place :o)
its a real shame this is only basic editing - under advanced rules you would be able to fix the spots in he sky, dodge and burn a bit and this photo would be amazing - giving you an 8 for potential
excellent composition, I'm conflicted on the crane crossing the horse though, I don't know how shifting your shot would have affected the rest of the exposure, but very well done nonetheless. -8
I like this shot a lot, and usually I'm not a fan of wide-angle distortion on buildings. Perhaps it's because i know the area. The tones in the old Stock Exchange are perfect. Shame about the flare in the sky. In a member challenge you would have been able to do something about this.
