More Fisheye Shots

It was a nice enough day today to take the lens out and try some test shots around town. I was hoping it would really open up on the cityscape shots but I'm somewhat disappointed so far. The colors are mushy and most of the pics feel like you're looking through a plate glass window. Part of it can be attributed to my inexperience with the lens so maybe the pics will improve with use. I wanted crisp, wide shots with a nice circular distortion at the edges. I didn't take any shots with the timer, that might help.
