Looks like the water is falling onto the bridge. I'd crop off a good chunk of the bottom, making it more square. As is, the stream distracts the eye from the bridge. Slightest saturation boost could help. Nice shot overall.

The colours are a little washed out unfortunately.

Reflection is a bit muddy, some extra time could have been spent on choosing a better reflective surface and background for a cleaner shot, and at an angle that didn't include the camera (unless that was intentional).

needs more color saturation, a bit over exposed?

Distorted, grainy... not very artistic.

Good eye, too bad this contest was not in the spring when colors are out.

I think fhoto is a little bit underexpose and the sky is very plain

The subject is great and the composition is pretty pleasing to the eye; the photo definitely meets the challenge. However, the white balance appears to be off, and the undersaturation doesn't really work - it would be nicer either fully coloured or converted to b&w. For some reason, my eye doesn't like the space to the left of the bridge - it wants to see the bridge go to the edge of the photo. The setting is great, though, and the focus and DOF are excellent.

Not sure what you were going for here creatively. Obviously a reflection, there is a distracting line through the center of the shot. Most of the other submissions featured a facial expression that was definitely a smile, or definitely not a smile and that approach might have helped improve this image. Including the camera in the final product gives this shot more of a "snapshot" feel and will not help the final score. The background is visually uninteresting and the clothing sort of blends in with it. It was great that you actually included your face. Unfortunately, I just wasn't able to give this a very good score.
