Comment by byetko:
Really nice contrast between the blues and oranges and the focus is perfect. But I feel like its a little crowded. I think if you panned back a bit, some negative space may have helped but who know what restraints you were working with. 7

First Impressions
Quite a nice night shot, needs a slight perspective correction. I gave this image a 6 during voting.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
With some of the lights starting to blend in together, I wonder whether you could have afforded to have a lower ISO, which would also have given a slightly softer feel. Although having said that, the processing has produced a fairly smooth feel. I don't know if you used a tripod or not, but there does appear to be some slight movement in the image - but that may be accentuated by some focal issues (difficult to judge). Perhaps also a slightly faster shutter speed... only by a few seconds.

Compositionally, because the image is weighted on the right hand side, there seems to be a lack of balance. The top area of the bridge so close to the top of the frame also enhances this, as does your framing. With a perspective correction and more finely tuned crop (difficult to make suggestions with the image as is), I think this would have produced a stronger image. Perhaps a square or even vertical framing might have worked for this shot, not sure.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
176/419 is a fairly good placing and the score of 5.77 is above middle of the road and for a Free Study, you are perhaps quite pleased with that. I guess the technicals and lack of 'drama' may have caused voters to move on fairly quickly from this 'scene'.

Two comments, one admiring the view/perspective and the other liking the capture. One mentions the border, which I tend to agree with - not sure it suits this image, but fairly minor.

Summary
If you get an opportunity to shoot this scene again, try experimenting with different technical settings, using a tripod and also trying to compose the scene in a balanced way - will help make life easier for you in pp.

This was actually given a slight filter effect that is more evident in a larger view. It is made to look more like a painting, which probably is the focus difference you are noting.
