Wow, what a beautiful sight - better in person especially if with the lovely floral smell. Love the colors and the light for it has this early morning feel. This makes me a bit nostalgic for Cally - some very interesting streets and sights to be found out in L.A.
At first glace I was like "WOW!". Unfortunately, I see some glitches in the processing though that take away from this otherwise great image. There is ghosting in the sky and there is a sudden transition between grey and shadow in areas that seem strange. I am guessing that this was a HDR image made from multiple exposures and the images aren't quite lined up.
A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.
Personally my eye is drawn to the huge dark area to the bottom right. It throws the balance of the photo off. The idea is interesting, but perhaps consider cropping?
