Thank you everyone.  Barcelona is very crowded.  For major attractions, especially this one, advance tickets are required.  This is is a functioning cathedral.  Some people sit and pray.  It is difficult to appreciate this building is the product of one man's imagination, architectural skills, creativity and designed with the materials and tools of a century ago.

Does anyone notice a bit of a fish eye effect?

Sagrada Familia is one of the most remarkable cathedrals I have visited.  You have really captured it beautifully with a 3D effect.

I did notice the fisheye effect.  Is that the result of a fisheye lens?  If so, it would be interesting to rerun the stitch with the images de-fished.

The fisheye effect creeped in during the stitch, which was done in ACR.  The frames were shot with a 20mm f/1.8 and corrected for spherical distortion before the stitch.  I think there is some way to get rid of the fish eye effect, but it would probably entail a loss of coverage.  Since I don't own a fish eye lens, I thought I was getting something for nothing, so I left it as is.

Due to the beautifully organic design of Gaudi, I couldn't tell if it was the fisheye effect or slight residual barrel distortion or whatever.
