The challenge when photographing an iconic scene is coming up with a unique view. So on this particular morning, after I captured several of the standard images, I decided to get a little creative. The effect in this image was created all in-camera by zooming in while the shutter was open during the long exposure.

The reactions that I have been hearing are basically polar opposites. I'm still on the fence on whether I like it or not. What are your thoughts on it?
