Like 'em both a lot.
The first one reminds me of one of the seminars at GFM last year,
about shooting landscapes with an ultra-wide. You did it just the way
the lecturer said (an interesting foreground is all-important).
Love the second one! Looks like he's right at the precipice (probably
because he is!), and the fisheye really gives one a feeling of "being
there". I almost get a feeling of vertigo looking at that (and I'm
not afraid of heights at all...).
I just went over to the corner store, and my minilab fisheyes aren't
ready yet. They said "Friday", but they didn't say "after noon".
Maybe I'll have some to post later, if I get them before I head out to
see my girls for the weekend.
cheers,
frank
