It's just a matter of taste- of course. Generally (for me), too much extreme curvature because of a fish-eye's natural distortion becomes "iffy" very soon. That's partly because there are so many on this thread.
That said- I really like the second image (for reasons that only my analyst could explain). Scott?

I hear you Charlie. Of course you like the one with the most distortion.
I will be going back soon with a different lens. The reason they're all like this is that I don't want to change lenses inside such a dusty environment. I just went through and took pics to see what everything looks like.
Once I've exhausted every angle and lens, I'll go through all pics and keep just the best variety of wide views and closeups. There are some interesting objects that deserve a still life treatment.
it is perfectly understandable why you return and return. this place ought to be make into a photographer's park.
with you as our guide, of course!

Yes- I realized the irony when I posted my reply .
I think my reaction to that pic is based on its simplicity, and relative lack of clutter. Plus its composition.
Also, seeing the top of extreme distortion is kinda nice.

Fisheye can be fun, but it gets real old real quick. Maybe Charlies analyst could explain, but I like the second, also. I think 3 and 4 would be better without the fisheye.
The distortion works especially well in the second image, John
These are neat places you keep finding.
When I find the occasional place like this, its either boarded off, or appears treacherous to enter.

Hope your analyst helps you sort things out Charlie.
R. Amuck, I do plan on redoing a lot of these without the fisheye, including the 2 that you mention. I'll be posting them at least until all of you get tired of seeing them.
Scott, that is often the case for me as well, but this place is surprisingly sound considering all of the broken windows. All supporting members are sound and floors have zero holes in them.
