Competing Icons (Weekly Fisheye #6)

I know that for many, the Sorcerer's Hat is a bit of a sore spot about Hollywood Studios. It's the "icon" of the park the was so lovingly dropped right in front of the old "icon" that used to greet guests at the end of Hollywood Boulevard. While I don't overly enjoy it's position either and the fact that it almost completely blocks out the replica Mann's Chinese Theater, it does make for a very fun location to look up and grab a fisheye shot from!

 

This is a picture that I wish I could have a do-over on, but that probably won't come for at least a few months. While I like where I caught the sun, the coloring, and many other things, I can't get past that neither the hat or the theater are quite centered on their respective sides. While I wish I could crop it to fix it, that just leaves to much being chopped of with a fisheye shot. So, hopefully the next time I'll get EXACTLY what I want! In the meantime, I'll still be happy with this!

 

Comments, suggestions, critiques, etc. are always appreciated! Thanks for looking!
