Hey I've climbed on that. Didn't realize it was a Picasso! Interesting fish eye effect.

Not only is the fountain Picasso but your photo as whole has fantastic Picasso-ish feeling to it. The point of view is so cool. I'm not sure how you achieved this roundness to it but I like it. The buildings look great and the lights from the windows , puts my mind into gear and I want to make up stories about those lonely people slaving away in the evening.
Very very cool photo

Hi Ken
Excellent fisheye effect really drawing the eye up to the top of the building and pole. The sharpness is excellent. The beautifully lit foreground stands out really well against the bluehour sky.
Regards
