I'm very pleased with my new lens. This is at 10mm.
Converted from RAW (adjusted exposure, shadows etc). USM, then two Soft Light Gaussian Blur layers to bring out the detail in the centre of the flower and darken other parts. Slight hue adjustment.

love the choice of fish eye for this photo - you are much braver than I - i hate bees! and can imagine you had to get pretty close to capture this little guy
You know what? I'm bumpingthis up. First time through I didn't really notice the curved horizon and the nice out of focus background. The flower may be too centered for my tsate, but hey, what are you going to do?
