Awesome. I love the vividness of the blue and the contrast with the fountain and the city. It has very awesome flow, and almost looks as if the fountain is pouring the clouds in the sky.

Simply Beautiful.

The location is fantastic, and it was a very good choice to use the fish-eye lens.


I now really want one after I buy my new camera.
