Painting or Garbage?

[ToddM]

Does this look like a painting or is this crap. I mean, would you hang this on your wall or no? I've posted a few of these painted effect photos and some people think they look great, others think they suck. I'm a bit of an art buff and I personally like it. I could see this hanging on the wall of some artsy fartsy studio apartment down in the city. Just curioius to see what others think.

I’m not a huge fan of digital ‘over-manipulation’… But it seems to work well with this composition. The only drawback (on my monitor anyway), is a very pixilated sky.

Overall though, I think this is nicely done!

To me it sort of resembles pointilism. But maybe that's just me. I think there's just a bit too much negative space for my taste though.
