I'd prefer to crop out perhaps 25% of the bridge

This is a good crisp photo and a good story. Wonder if compositionally, it would also work well if you had positioned your camera at one or the other edge of the railing creating a diagonal to that exciting structure in the back. Not a critique, but a suggestion. Image is a good one.

I like the sepia tone and it looks an interesting place to visit with lots of history

Nice leading lines - right to the center of interest. Your choice of sepia just right for this historical place.

love this. i can almost hear the creaking of the bridge as i walk on it. very atmospheric. the history and attaction of the place is very well revealed. also, like the sepia tone - it emphasizes well the years passed...

Nice image and good, if not quite appropriatefor the challenge, sepia treatment. I usually imagine a colour image for "... an image that represents an area as a visitor might see it". But that's just me.

Good choice going with duotone with this photo. It seems to add to the feel that the building is old and historic. The use of the bridge/walkway to lead the eyes to the building is also good. It's hard to tell if the building is actually that way or if contrast is an issue. It seems that the chimney is a bit overexposed but it's probably that way. 9

Looks like an interest story straight from a magazine. Good job.

Gorgeous photo. Great toning and lighting, however the blown out whites may be a little too much. 8
