[QUOTE="STM, post: 373613, member: 12827"] Very nice! If I might make a few suggestions to make it even stronger. The bridge is sitting right in the middle of the frame, with equal amounts of water and sky on both sides. Were you to change the crop some to eliminate some of both and place the bridge on a third, it would make the image stronger. With a long bridge like this, you can crop the image to be narrower in height than you might otherwise do. It gives it a more panoramic view anyway. The water is pretty much void of detail with the exception of the bridge's reflection. I would crop out more of it than the sky but that would be entirely up to you which one you cropped down. They sky has more texture with the few clouds that are there. Also, the image could benefit from a little "enrichment" in the way of exposure and saturation. By darkening the image just a little and bumping up the saturation, it gives the print a "richer" (a term used a lot more in the good old days of film) look.
