I don't understand your title but like the photo. it's a nice study in DOF, lighting, worthy of an impressionist painting.

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 the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: The interplay of sun and mist is very compelling and this would, in less careful hands, lead to a problematically low contrast image, but your inclusion of the bridge remedies this. The coloration suits the image too.

Critical stuff: Although your bridge offers perspective, the POV means that this doesn't translate to much of a sense of depth.

Overall: I think this is a nice enough image but I think the scene has a fairly low level of intrinsic interest.

very nice work - processing captures the mood and moment nicely.

This has a nice old world feel to it.... but I can't really tell what you've overlaid

I really like the way you placed the bridge in the frame and the light posts going off into infinity.
