   I agree with WhiteDog that this rather bland shot was made very interesting with the fisheye. It might have been a little too curved but still I think it was a good choice to make a shot that really only had the sky, water and sun reflection on the water going for it much more appealing. It kind of looks like a sharpening, followed by a smart blur (or noise removing) type of effect was applied to this, and in both cases, a little too much was applied. It may even be paint daubs or palette knife too, which CAN sometimes be used to clean up noise, but I do not recommend them. You can really tell if you look at the clouds, sand, which loses almost all detail, and the sun reflection on the water which has gained unwanted colors due to sharpening. I'm not saying that I know exactly what you did to this in post-processing, I'm just telling you what it looks like to me, and giving pointers for future post-work. If it weren't for the over-sharpening then loss of detail due to the smart blur/noise removal type filter, I would keep this, even with the fisheye. I really like your previous submissions though keep it up! =)

   I'm generally not fond of the fisheye perspective, either, but that's just a matter of personal taste. In the case of this image, I think using a wide angle lens was justified in order to make a rather conventional sunset look more dramatic and interesting.

   I actually really like the fisheye. It makes my desktop look all twilighty.

   Found it to be quite stunning and the fisheye works impressively well here for me ;-T

   Love the picture and colors - Very nice sunset. I hope to one day visit this place. The fisheye has got to go. It hurts to look at it..................

   The colour and scene itself look spectacular. Very sharp. Unfortunately, I can't download this due to the fisheye. Not my taste. Would love to see something similar without it.
