This "ARCH WAY"...:D:p was taken at the gazebo that sits on the south side of the dock of Vizcaya Palace leading out to Biscayne Bay. This was painted with a Nikon D200, using a Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 G fisheye.

Hi Gus - unusual perspective- I like it. I would maybe tone down the sky a little - looks a little bright on my monitor - could be just my monitor though.
Well done - see you are lovin that 10.5 - I like playing around with it for Horizon shots - low angle - over a field of crops or something like that.
you are killing it with that fisheye!!!!! looks like you had a VERY productive day!! i like this. one thing that could have made it stronger would have been to have a BG element to balance it out a little. like a ship or boat or a MERMAID!!!!:D
Gus, this is a really cool and pretty image. I'm conflicted in that I wish we don't seem so high above the wrought iron railing but if you had gotten lower, the horizon would be too high in the frame. In any case, it's still a beautiful image - evocative of warm sun and cool breezes. :)

I'd like to see this shooting from a lower vantage point. Perhaps you were standing when you shot this photo? Too bad about the blown highlights. Overall I'd say it was a good try, pretty much achieved what you set out to do.
