Excellent composition, exploits the fisheye perspective to achieve a very interesting and well-balanced image.

+1 on that. Just the type of scene where a fish-eye is particularly effective.

Samynag 8mm in K mount on Samsung NX1 with adapter. The image is not de-fished and looks quite realistic, but the horizon gives it away. I was trying to get it in the middle of the frame but was off slightly. Drat, I will not pass that way again soon.

Dramatic!

X-posted on the scenic thread. Fish eye was useful here for both the expansive view and also the huge DOF which brought the nearby columns into focus.

-- In photoshop you can use the edit transform warp to (reasonably) straighten the horizon.
-- Another way would be to enlarge the image veriically so your image is at the top of a much larger (taller) image. Thus the horizon is near the top of the image and then do a lens distortion correction.

I took the liberty of using the 2nd method on your image using PS CS6. I had to fill the lower half in with color (heavy gray lines) as otherwise it would not show up here.
