My first attempt using a fisheye lense! It was rather fun. :o) Shot in Tulsa,OK in an office builing in the middle of the night. Photoshop - crop, contrast/brightness. Special thanks to Toad32 for bringing me to the builing he works in, letting me use his lens, and for being patient while I played around.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Usually I like fisheye shots, but this one is abit unbalanced. You decided for a central composition, and while I think that those can be very good, it needs very good attention to pull it off. A central composition means symmetry, either through mirroring or rotation.
Your photo appears to be tilted to the right. The center of the ceiling is not excatly above the center of the entrance, and the walls on the left are taller than the walls on the right. This is a bit strange, because you seem to be positioned straight in fromt of the hallway. However, I think you held your camera at a slight angle towards the right, and with the effect of the fish eye lens, the angle is exaggerated more the further it gets away from the center. That's why the ceiling appears much more out of balance than the hallway.

The colors could do with a bit more saturation, but I do like the lighting in the hallway.

I guess the image meets the challenge, although I think in a very superficial way.

I think more practice with the fisheye lens will improve your scores loads in the future.

I like the creativity in this photo, but it is difficult to determine detail. I think it could be more interesting with a tighter focus on one or two decadent objects in the hotel.
