Peleng fisheye lens

I took this photo for the Architecture V challenge but then submitted another shot. I went back to this scene for the "From the Ground Up" challenge but the sky was overcast and I couldn't get a good shot.

This is a really interesting and entertaining use of a fisheye lens! This to me is exactly the kind of thing they should be used for!

Love the fact you've included people and traffic along the bottom as well, it really works well. I also really like the fact that you've kept the sun flare, it works well.

This image should be hung in the lobby of the building of which I'm assuming the big circle thing belongs to, you should see if they will buy it! 8.
