There is good potential in this shot, I would shoot from a lower angle so the background is less cluttered and you have caught your shadow in the foreground, worth a revisit.

I agree with snappychappy about getting lower. You'll maximize that reflection and also make the structure seem more imposing in the frame. I think your shot above also lacks contrast and either a levels mid point slider is in order or a contrast boost itself
Hi Gareth thanks for that I agree on reflection re the contrast and position. Im trying to work out the best settings in camera to get the best results trying to reproduce as acurate an image in colour and detail as possible. Its proving to be a great learning curve with this camera but Im sticking with it.The thing that my eye sees straight away is the person in the pink coat walking down the path and try as I might I cannot seen to 'remove' her from the image and focus on the subject at hand!

Fish eye taken from the ground facing up at 45 deg at the entrance. Look like the inside of a rib cage. And even better if you can double the symmetry using the water reflection.

Thanks Smeggy I have the Sigma 10/20 nearest I have to a fish eye. I can see I will have to go back and take more of this structure.Fish eye taken from the ground facing up at 45 deg at the entrance.
