 quite a few of these Train trestle bridges are located on the Sumas Prairie which allow farm vehicles entrance onto farm lands in the areas bordering Canada and the U.S.A. The Village behind the Trestle is called Arnold and is one of the original Villages from the late 1800's built in British Columbia.

I think this picture could have been a lot better with some more dramatic lighting.
I bet, at sunset, if the golden sun shone on the pylons, for instance, it would be a much more strinking shot.

INteresting shot. I like your focus on the supports of this bridge. A slightly different perspective, say to your left a few yars, would draw attention to them even further. They are also a bit out of focus.

This could be just a little sharper. The dreary weather is not helping things at all. I think going greyscale would've been an option worth exploring.

maybe a different angle to this shot would have made it stand out more. Like being closer to the bridge and shooting towards the other side so It looks liek the bridge is going away from you,

focus seems a little soft. too bad the weather wasn't cooperating more (although almost everyone had that problem)

I love it, but for some reason it looks blurry or "soft". You may need to focus right on the bridge and then move the camera (while holding the focus button) to compose, then shoot it. You probably focused by mistake on the tree off in the distance.

Neat trestle; your shot might benefit from a slightly different perspective (trestle vs. horizon), the bridge kind of gets lost in the forested hills.
