The last one makes me a bit dizzy! The shots with the DA15 are good but there is something odd going on with the sky.
I like the first one- some HDR images were posted a while ago at this location (was that you?) which I really like a lot (and normally HDR isn't really my thing).
I like the "Big Stopper" image too- that boat must have been moving pretty slowly.

I really like the first one, this sort of subject definitely suits the fisheye. The second one might look better cropped square, or with more fill light to get back some shadow detail. The sky in some of these shots seems a bit devoid of detail, the wonky Tower Bridge one would have more impact IMO if the sky was a bit darker. It gives me vertigo though! Likewsie the one of the Millenium Bridge could do with a darker sky, maybe a grad filter in Lightroom would do the trick.

First up, the South Bank skate park. Always covered in (ever changing) graffiti. This was early in the morning (no skaters!) and using the fisheye on a gorillapod:
St Paul's in triplicate. I imagine this is already a bit of a cliched image, taken from the new 'New Change' shopping centre in the City:
Supersonic sightseeing! trying out a big stopper filter using a gorillapod again:
I have recently acquired a DA15mm lens. A thing of diminutive beauty I think. Here are a couple of test shots I took the day after I got it I think; Southwark Cathedral:
and the Sentinel - a sculpture in the 'More London' development which includes the Mayor's office and lots of modern buildings:
This is what 'More London' looks like from the other side of the river - think this is a fisheye shot that I tried to 'de-fish':
Finally, a bit of a freak-out on Tower Bridge with the fishy again. I cross Tower Bridge quite often but was delighted on this day because it actually opened. very cool...
All were taken with the K-7 and have had varying levels of PP. Any C&C welcomed as ever.
