Artistic lamp structures for sure. There is a nice combination and balance of artificial vs ambient light here.

Yes, the artificial vs. natural light is nice here.  These must be something better than the common but ghastly high-pressure Sodium vapor lamps.

How cool is that light.
I especially like the one where the rider is holding the pole up, with the shadow just completing the scene. Nicely done.

Ditto all previous posts.

I love the first one.  As for the second one, I like the theatrical framing, but I may want to wait for the better placements and poses of the figures.

Mongo loves the effect. Taking these images on what looks like dusk in combination with the artificial light makes for uniquely interesting images. Nicely seen and balanced.

I really like the effect and post processing although I would remove the purple fringing from/around the lamp head itself :)

ACR Adobe Camera Raw has a slider for this, both color limits and amount of correction.
