nikon 8mm f2.8 fisheye Yellow Fields and Clouds - Fisheye I

One of my first images made with this exceptional lens. I applied a

Graduated ND filter in the Photoshop RAW converter, and adjusted

saturation and sharpness a little. I removed some minor flare marks as

well. Please let me know what you think.

This lens is exceptionally sharp, beating out my Nikon 14mm f2.8 and it has far superior control over flare.  I also cropped the edge slightly to remove the blue halo associated with all circular fisheye lenses.

Beautiful effect of framing, feeling very globular and earthlike.  It appears the yellow field is afloat in its semicircular fashion.  Nice touch on the saturation.  I am a new photographer and have been slowly introducing myself to the editing techniques.  The framing immediately draws the eye into the photo, taking it through to the background.  Well done!

This is great.  The first matter in using a fish-eye is finding good subject matter, here you have definitely succeeded.  Good subject + great execution + good PP = Great image.  Thank you for sharing.
