Sam, in order for this image to work for me, it should be rotated 90 degrees CCW, so we're viewing it in the same orientation as you took it. I think it's a very interesting shot and good conversion but disconcerting to view it as is and just doesn't have the visual impact it can have.
Ditto to Jack; Exactly what i was coming to say.... excellent image
Wonderful conversion! You've commanded the light to work its magic!
If the intent is to portray nothing other than realism, I agree with everyone about the orientation. If the intent is to introduce a strong element of abstraction, the current orientation works well for me.
Nicely captured.
I too would like to see it rotated, very nice image
