Foggy morning on the way to work, snapped a quick shot out of the windscreen when approaching some stopped traffic. Basically a no-look shot, but once it was processed I really liked it. I liked the little details. Street signs, street lamps, an exit ramp with a bus, the close suv on the right, the orange traffic cones, the yellow pickup echoing the yellow line, those red brake lights in the distance... the way it all fades into that fog.
Mundane life, represented at the moment of - "dang it, I'm going to be late."
I hope people like it as much as I do.

I'm surprised this image hasn't been given a posty - it looks just like the kind of thing Don would go for! Ah well...personally I would have cropped a bit on the left to put the sun at a third. If a longer exposure had been possible, that would have blurred the vehicles on the left, adding a little blur and a sense of motion.
I like it because it does catch the mundanity of the morning commute. There is a universality to this shot which usually appeals. All I can think is that the blown sun/fog were seen as too glarey and thus put people off. And let's face it, DPC loves saturated colours or multitonal b/ws, relatively muted colours have a much tougher go of it. Even more so in a Free Study entry.
Overall a good effort, please keep on shooting and entering!
I really do like this, because of the reasons you indicated. Mundane, every day life, but with fun little details. And a really nice job with the processing, too.
