Well, there's a reason for the saying "Can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse". Some images are just not worth "fixing". My best suggestions to you for this image:

1) Re-shoot. Make sure to get the whole lightpole in the image. Try to shoot at a time when the light is better - dusk or dawn. Avoid having vehicles on the road if possible. Consider what you are trying to show with the image.
2) Don't oversaturate. The green grass in the edited image above is a bit unnatural looking. The red is a bit much too.

Keep working at it!

Mike
