Very beautiful scene. The clouds are very cool, and the colors and nice. However the photo needs to be more vivid, may bring up the sats

Ah, yes. The most photographed bridge of all. Love that area.

Fabulous landscape that is very beautiful to observe. I can feel the wind and the chill. A good shot but there are two things holding this back from being a great shot. First off is that there seems to be a lack of sharpness to the scene (oddly the coulds appear in good focus). I'm thinking that mayhap the sharpness is there on the original large size and this is a case where resizing a large file in one stop has some loss of detail. It is better to do the resizing of a large image file in two or three stops with a sharpen in between - you suffer less loss of detail that way. If the less tack sharp is not due to resizing you can recover a bit of the lost detail with use of USM (unsharp mask /sharpen feature) but be careful not to go overboard. Lastly, the composition could be even stronger if you played up the strength of using the bridge as a leading line in the photo. I think it would be a stronger composition if you captured the full arch of the bridge where the other arch point/base springs out of the bottom left hand corner - the lines would then lead the eye to the span of beauty beyond.

DOF seems to be putting this as a miniature. Doesn't seem to work.

I like the drama of the battle between light and dark in this shot. the blur of the right half of the shot adds a dreamy quality.
