Like the first one but the shadow of you and what looks like a chair ruins it for me.

I really want one of these!!!

Nice pics though, 2nd doesn't do anything for me, 3rd seems a bit too dark but that could be this monitor.

which fisheye lens were you using?

I'd guess it's a fish eye adapter screwed on to the kit lens or something, if you look at the exif there is different focal lengths, eg 22mm for the first.

I like the first photo with the tree curving round the top although I think it would benefit if you cloned you shadow out. Also I think the last one works really well with the B&W conversion, and I think is the best of the bunch. The two of the tops of the trees don't do much for me, but I am not too sure how I'd try to improve them really.

Indeed it is.

They all lack clarity to me; in sharpness and detail but that's probably from the kit lens a bit. I'm not a fan of the processing either, they all seem a bit dark but I can imagine it's a fun lens.

The only good thing about fisheye adapters is that they fit perfectly over Holga lenses if you give em abit of a twist.
