Anthony Mak says:
The curvature of the fisheye tilts the statues in such a way that it causes them to point towards the sky. This creates movement in the statues which is not possible with a normal rectilinear lens. Pointing the statues towards the sky is perfect, because the sky itself exhibits dramatic movement. The fisheye has been used to emphasise a relationship between the statues and the sky, which would have been less successful with a normal lens.
Anthony Mak says:
The curvature of the fisheye in this photo and the wonderful blurred effect of the train in the background work together to isolate the subject. It is one of those rare examples where having the subject dead centre was the right choice.
Symmetrical balance seems to work well with fisheye lenses.
Anthony Mak says:
An ultra-wide angle lens can be used to create a perspective that emphasises the subject in foreground. This fisheye photo takes this one step further and isolates the subject in a different way to other rectilinear lens, thereby adding variety to the photographer's repertoire. The difference is in a different more compact perspective and the curvature of the lens reduces any distracting background eye magnets - leaving us focused directly on the Wolfman and the moon.
