The photo has a ocean-like soothing effect. I like it.

Yes, and I like it too.
This glass is always in my bag.
Thank you Anirban.

This is an excellent shot. Well seen and nicely composed.
My only criticism is that you placed the horizon essentially dead center in the frame.
Because the foreground has texture and is more interesting than the bald sky, I'd suggest cropping the shot horizontally at the midpoint of the sky. This will take the horizon out of the horizontal center of the frame and also put the person in approximately a thirds position which in my opinion, will strengthen the composition.

Thanks for the tip Robert.
With this lens you have to place the horizon dead center, otherwise it will be curved, which can be unpleasant sometimes.

I understand, but am talking about cropping after the fact, during post-processing.

Interesting, there are several different crops for this excellent image.

On balance, I like the original, which to me increases the sense of space and isolation.  But I can see how your crop also works well.

Thank you Anthony.
Fisheyes are superb for these landscape shots.
