Fisheye technique with a kit lens

A while back I was at a lift bridge and decided to get some snapshots of it. In CS4 I merged them into one "fisheye" type photo. I'm posting it to get some feedback. I'm curious as to what you think:

not bad photo, what lens was used? looks distorted a bit.

The world is a open and free place to explore.

Nikkor 18-55. I used CS4's photomerge and then played with the distortion feature so I could crop it how I wanted.

I've done this myself, with mixed results...





But some are hard or impossible to do without fisheye - particularly long exposures or scenes with rapidly changing lights. With the stairway (22 shots) the setting sun started causing trouble with WB and exposure. Here's a shot I probably couldn't do, and I'm glad ULiveandYouBurn got in to take it.



I've had good results with the Hugin panorama creator...but it definitely acts funny on seams with close objects.
