Great shot, and good use of the fisheye. Even the white sky looks appropriate! Nicely done

Striking image due to the fisheye lens - imagine what it would look like on film or a full frame sensor!
There is a harmony between the attitude of the woman & the building behind her. She must have been nearly treading on your toe when you pressed then shutter button.

I was close for this shot, but I think street photography has to be close and personal

Yes, often that is the case.

Whoever laid those pavers needs a good talking to. The angles are all over the place! Anyway, nice shot. Pray tell, what was the particular lens you used, a Vivitar (Bower) 8mm, perhaps?

Excellent example of street photography. Why do these shots seem more at home in mono than colour? I don't follow Andrew's comment re first class street photos being rare with ultra wide angle lenses. Many of the best ones are shot wide angle in my opinion.

This is a first-rate example of the genre. Also a rare excellent picture taken with an ultra wide lens, in my opinion.
