A little too contrasty for my tastes. I feel like it is just trying to make a fairly uninteresting photo into something that stands out, but doesn't exactly work for me.
sorry, but even though there was a photograph in here somewhere, this is more digital art, to me, than anything else. i'm just not a fan of pushing it this far, unless it's something really, really radical.
but hey, that's just my opinion; as long as you love it, that's what matters.
Great concept, I love street lanterns that are brightly decorated with flowers. I think for me, the execution here lets the image down a bit. What I would've tried to change when taking the photo is to have the lamppost straight, the lantern not cropped off at the tome and less clutter in the background at the bottom. I bet you are getting comments about the blownout sky, but I like the contrasty feeling of the shot. The reflections in the lantern add to the image, too.
The artistic post processing is quite effective here in making the colour really stand out, but I think the negative point about the photo is that the lamp post is not straight. It is quite a distraction in my opinion.
