So what could vmlopes have done to make this a better photo? Was the fisheye a good lens choice or could he have chosen something better? Do you like the angle and composition of the photo? How about the exposure and processing?

A good critique always includes praise and suggestions for improvement. Don't be afraid to share your opinion. That's what this forum is for. And don't forget - the critic has as much to gain as the photographer. In making the effort to articulate a serious critique you will learn a lot that will benefit your own photography.
So John, where's the critique to go with your guidance? Lead by example, that sort of stuff...
