Very well said Matt.
To John, there are different views to what is considered 'photography'. At one time, I hesitated to use photoshop to fix the shadows in an image because it took away from what the picture really was, a picture taken in bad light that anyone could tell before the shot was taken it wouldn't be good. But gladly I have came to embrace the power of photoshop and the use of it to save photos.
To me the fisheye lens does the same thing. It allows you to capture images you might not of otherwise unless you used it (just like photoshop saves images shot in bad light). Then, on a railroad that is heavily photographed like the D&S, the fisheye adds a view that is rarely seen and is a refreshing change of pace.
With that said, this is the first time I have seen the fisheye used this well... The 70-200 on the other hand is a long time favorite of mine
