    That lens makes me feel seasick Laughing.gif. That first image is pretty cool though - it actually feels like I'm standing right there under it, looking straight up at a fabulously interesting building.

    I'm not finding the first shot's HDR conversion very convincing. Too, for lack of a better term, HDR'ish. I also think the WB is somewhat off. The perspective and barrell distortion from that vantage point disturbs to me. Not flattering for the subject. OK, I don't like that shot :D - so shoot me. :gun2 lol3.gif

    However... the second shot's conversion is very even throughout the range and the wide's distortion, which is looks even wider/wilder due to your position centered on the facade, just draws me more into the shot. Very nice! thumb.gif Great clouds too. And you didn't get any blown skies, which I see in far too many HDR's gone wrong, so my compliments in the conversion of both of these. Question, I know those front doors were very close to you - did you clone yourself out of the window reflection?

    Just my 2¢, but with architectural wide shots I either prefer totally straight lines and corrected perspective — or completely wild distortion and uncontrolled fishiness and unusual angles. Between those two styles, minimal distortions rob me from enjoying the structure of the buildings, or the art of the photography.
