The second in a series of seriously over-processed images. Intentional?

I like this one better than the Austin skyline one. While over-processed it doesn't scream it as much.
I don't know. The colour saturation seems to be off.
When I was getting my BFA at UGA, my photography professor had a saying:
“You don’t know if you’ve gone far enough until you’re sure you’ve gone too far.”
I still apply that today.
When I was learning darkroom work someone told me "go too far, then back off."
You don't know you've gone far enough until you've gone one step too far.
When I raced motorcycles, the guys who won were the guys who knew how to just barely not cross the line that caused you to crash. Unfortunately, you have to crash multiple times to find out where the line is. Crossing the line in photography is safer, but teaches the same lessons.
