 The view from my apartment on the Abu Dhabi Corniche. Lulu Island is in the distance. Iran is the next stop!

No editing per the challenge rules, except an overall "Sharpen" in Photoshop. My windows don't open more than a few inches, so trying to jam a 7D with fisheye lens through the opening was a challenge in itself!

I've been through that area many times... Great use of fisheye here. The photo is actually shaped like a human eye! Congrats on the HM!
