Steps
Choose the elliptical marquee tool - no feathering - create a circle or oval shape around what you want to fish eye - you will probably want to include a little more than you think.
Select the inverse (Command - Shift - i)
Delete (this gets rid of the everything but what is in your marquee)
Select the inverse again (Command - Shift - i)
Go to Filter - Distort - Spherize
Start at 100% and see how you like that. If it isn't enough - like on the above photos - try adding another of the same filter at 50% for a total of %150 - or maybe even 200%
Before you deselect your marquee copy and paste it into a new (transparent?) document if you don't want a white background. I put these edits back in their original images because I thought it looked pretty cool.
When you put these fisheye effects into a new document or on an existing document you will want to add a drop shadow and perhaps a stroke so that it is very plain to see that you did the edit and you meant for part of the photo to look bulgy. Both of the above photos have drop shadows as well as strokes.
