Hi!

In general, I tend to dislike fisheye shots that distort faces. But those eyes are so endearing, and the you've used the fisheye to emphasize them to great (and positive) effect. And the other little face, the bubble bath, and colorful little floaty toys all add to the composition.

Good work!

I don't get it? Why deform a pretty girl's face?
Surely the use of any 'extra' should add to the pic, not diminish it?

This is basically s photo of a pretty little girl, what does the fish eye add?

Sir, is there no whimsical bone in your body?

That's so sad; you're utterly trapped in your rectilinear box!
