Thanks, Scott.
Fisheye lenses, just like ultrawide rectilinears, often create photos that feel somewhat cliche. I try to get beyond such cliches whenever I use one, and produce something that has a little more of a unique statement to it. Sometimes the effort succeeds ... other times, no.
In general, I find myself steering away from extremes most of the time these days.

I really like 19p. When I first saw it, I immediately thought the subject needed a PC lens or a view camera. After staring at it for a while I changed my mind and, don't tell Frank, thought it would look really cool with a fisheye lens. But then I pulled my head out, remembered that I loathe fisheyes, and decided that I really like it just the way you've presented it. I just needed a little time to see the light. Good work.
