Sorry for reflection in the bottom-left... it's a problem of fisheye lenses... I can't remove with basic editing rules... I hope you not consider for voting.

Sorry for my english!

Sorry for aberration... it's impossible to avoid that lighting effects in a square with many artificial lights...
The risk with a circular fisheye like mine is to include undesired subject... it's very difficult!

Ciao da Gipo ;-D

Cool fisheye shot.
Abberation on lower left kinda ruins the shot, though.

Like the distortion created here. I assume it was a fisheye lens? Anyway, nice job and nice toning.

this picture, for me, would have been better had you not used a wide angle lens.
