Description
Tarchxi - Architecture Taxi...when buildings want to move around.
---------------------------
Lens used is Sigma 8mm f/4 circular fisheye, and then de-fished to a certain extent using ACDSee.
The idea of a transport carrying a building came out when I got this shot. The car is not a taxi, I think, but let's treat it as one. So, the fisheye distortion, especially after some de-fishing, has made the car look even more stretched, and appear to be larger than the building on top; therefore I consider the concept to be acceptable...
----------------------------
Thank you for viewing, hope you enjoy your visit.

great composition as per, i love your fisheye photos, You have a great eye.
The only bad thing is the blurred car, but i guess its not like you can tell it to stop so you can take a photo

Actually I find the motion blur quite nice, as if it's in sharp, it's a but stiff?

The lens give some great effects! If only the taxi was not blurred The bottom part is a little itsy bitsy too dark you should consider lighting it up a little. As a whole work, I like it

It never would have occurred to me that the car is supposed to look like its carrying the building if I didn't read your description.
What I do notice, however, is that this is a flawless composition and brilliant angle

I'm loving the relationship between the "X" shape created by the negative space between buildings and the "V" created by the painted lines on the road... kind of 'organically geometric'
