I have mixed feelings in regards to the halo/softness of the image. In some ways I like it, in others, it makes me wonder what it would look like with out it.
I like the license plate of the background Merceded-Benz: SLR

I've sat here looking at this, crossed my eyes looking at it, titled my head and even blinked rapidly to try and understand what I was looking at. I still really don't know, and find it hard to determine size/proportions with much of the areas lacking in detail/sharpness.
Certainly a most unique artistic expression, whatever it is.

Something appears to have happened in the post-processing here that took all the textures and details out of a stunning sky, and also appears that too strong of an application of the shadow/highlight tool or similar, was used, rendering this odd in it's final presentation.

The illusion of warmth

I see an image that really had a lot of beauty and potential, but lacks in sharpness at the horizon, and appears to have a lot of noise reduction done, losing a lot of essential textures and details.

Odd critters aren't they?
This could have really been much more effective had the eye and area around it not been so deep in the shadows. Not a difficult fix in Photoshop using levels in a new layer via copy, then soft brush erasing back the areas that didn't need to be brightened up.
Jst a thought.

Had to sit here and study this a while and came to the conclusion that it's an upward view into a chandelier? Most unusual shot, but appears to be suffering from a number of areas that aren't very sharp/clear and some jpeg artifacts from image compression.

The deep rich tones here add so much to this image, and the lighthouse & buildings work well as a strong main focal point. Well done !
