Fireplace

[Life]

Here are a couple shots last night of my fireplace.

I don't have an fisheye lens, so in post I started messing around with distortion etc. The last photo is untouched in that area. Oh and I believe the wood to be slightly out of focus because I had to use F/3.5 handheld at 1/10 sec ( steady hand ), and unfortunately could not use my tripod so I couldn't do F/22 like I should have . But keeping that aside, does it look good going for the fisheye effect or does that screw it up? Thanks!

I like them. I like the first best because it shows those overhead pipes more. The fish eye needs to be toned down.

you certainly shouldn't have to use f22

...and I really don't have an answer for your question because I'm too distracted by your choice of composition, framing etc.

yup. jmo
