Ciao Gennaro from the Critique Club!

Wow, that 8mm fisheye is really effective!

Composition
I would have liked that the blue ship was in the middle, it would make a very nice focal point.
Still, you got enough of the sky as to make a balanced picture.

Processing
Probably a bit too much contrast, and the Topaz has left you a lot of noise in the sky, along with some deep halos around the clouds.
I think it would be interesting to have this shot with a colour tweak, just to enhance a few colours and tone down others, it could be fun.
Still, a 7.7 score from commentators is awesome, and a 6+ score overall, is a good score for a free study. Next shot try to clean up some contrast and noise, to make a smoother, more defined (I know it seems opposite) photo.

Best regards,
Joao

Certainly is colorful. Would make a great jigsaw puzzle, assembled, glued together, then hung on the wall.

great fisheye image...I just think the processing of the sky looks too obvious... nice work though
