Enjoying the ultra-wide, are we?
I bought the Rokinon 8mm (12mm-equivalent - 180-degree diagonal field of view) last summer and have enjoyed using it a few times (see avatar, for example.) It's not AF, but it's chipped (only the Nikon version comes chipped) so the camera understands it, shows focus with the rangefinder dot, and records EXIF data.

I don't know if you followed this thread back then, but half a year ago I was posting photos from my honeymoon (NYC, Miami and a cruise). Most of those photos were taken with this very Sigma 10-20, that a friend borrowed me at the time. I loved it and I think it was the perfect lens for this trip.
Anyway, the photos I am posting now are from a week or two before I went on that vacation, when my friend passed me the lens. And because it was a new (to me) lens, I shot pretty much everything with it.
About your Rokinon (or Samyang or Bower), I'd love to try one myself. But there's a big difference between that and this Sigma: yours is a fisheye while this Sigma is a regular rectilinear wide-angle lens.

Yeah, I was looking at the shots. Your verticals aren't necessarily vertical, but they're straight. With the fisheye they'd bow out, and nearer objects would be bowed more than distant objects.
I may throw some fisheyes into my gallery thread. I've been away from it for quite a while.......

I like the processing. I also like the composition of the two images. 👍

Really liking those pictures, they remind me of a 'relaxed' environment. 👍

Don't worry about the leaves. I wish we had sun and greenery at the moment, all we have is dirty slush/snow, grey skies and bare trees. Even the spring flower have been hammered. It's hard to find beauty is such depressing and dull surroundings.
Some lovely Bokeh going on in the B&W shots, especially the last one.
