Day of Reckoning, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

To make a fisheye composition work, usually you need an interesting foreground subject up very close and personal as well as an exciting background. I think this view of an old Bristlecone Pine at sunset in the Patriarch Grove fits the bill, and looks appropriately apocalyptic.

Technical data: 10.5mm digital fisheye, two combined exposures (one at 1/60 of a second, one at 1/40 of a second), both exposures at f/22 and ISO 200, tripod mounted.
