Comment by Paul:
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Great image - well found, well composed, very appropriate post-processing - I'm a big fan of the colouration. Subject-wise the hanging door has great impact but overall it is the very contrasty look that makes the image so compelling.

Critical stuff: Not a lot really - can't make up my mind whether I like the red on the right of the image...

Overall: Excellent work - a great match of subject and technique.

Comment by Covert_Oddity:
I like the mood of this shot, goes nicely with the subject. I do think it's just a touch over processed. The processing is good, it does add to the shot, I just feel you've taken it a touch too far.

Brilliantly processed piece of art, this is. The details and the colours are spot on, and the composition is wonderful. I expect that this will do very well with the voters... Great work... pay no attention to those that say otherwise.

I could guess on the three techniques used, but I'm not supposed to do that.
(not voting yet - maybe I'll abstain). I do like the photo.

well, you didn't read the rules with regards to the title of the photo.

So you didn't use the three techniques in the title but I'm not counting off for that. Long exposure, centered composition and low light - that would be my guess.
