Is that HDR with a fisheye type of filter? Really cool

You got it. It's the big Ferris Wheel on the docks in downtown Seattle. The salmon sculpture is larger than life size, and depth of field was an issue, as was the contrast between sunlight and shadow. The solution was a fisheye and HDR processing.

Edit:
I was using a little Pentax Q. Didn't have my fisheye lens with me, so I used a wide angle lens, taking a number of exposures, and stitched them together. Essentially, a fisheye result, but done by processing.

Now with the explanation it makes more sense. Interesting picture!
