Hilton head lighthouse

My family and I vacationed in Hilton Head, SC a few weeks back, while there, we drove down to 'South Beach' and Harbor Town. I was really just playing around with the processing of this image on my iPad, and I absolutely love how painterly it came out, while still retaining some elements of a photo.

What do y'all think?

I like the image/composition, but the post kinda leaves me - meh.
