Thank you both for commenting! Part of my goal in using an ultra wide lens is to make photos that don't scream 'ultra wide' at the viewer—to keep them subtle and let the extreme perspective reshape the scene it's recording in a way that is still natural. UW lenses open up spaces in interesting ways and let me see things and simplify them in ways that are difficult with more normal or longer perspectives.
This photo of the trumpets (don't know what the official name of these flowers might be) was made from a very, very short range—about 17 inches—and exaggerates them and their surroundings nicely without making them appear all near-far distorted like so many UW photos would. (I have a few NY photos to share, Ann. Just haven't had time yet. Been hammered since I returned home...!)
