I with I could offer some suggestions for ways of improvement here, but I think this shot is just simply wonderful.
Your focus and clarity are supurb. I especially would like to note that we can see the X shapes in the railing of the bridge in front here. Wonderful detail!!
The angle and framing/cropping are really nice as well. I like how the water kind of flows into the bottom right (or from the bottom right) Either way, it's very visually appealing in my opinion.
I like the shadows, I think that it includes enough 'variation' to make this interesting. The tones work nicely. Goes from whites to blacks, and seeing a lot in between. Works nicely on this old bridge.
The lighting conditions look to have been on your side this day. The sky is not overly bland, and includes a few clouds to enhance the overall look.
I don't think I'd like to see a thing done differently. Great job.

Nice bridges always seem to photograph well...maybe I'll start a Rant thread about all the "bridge photos" in every challenge...well maybe not -- it would discourage nice stuff like this.

This is a nice old fashion looking picture. good job.
I just wished you had cropped a little differently, at least for me.
If you click on the restore down button, and leave the width as normal and start shrinking vertically. Then have your picture start right where the right side bottom corner is touching the water/rock junction meet. This would make me focus more on the bridge.

Very cool. I love the tones. If you get a chance try shooting it on an overcast day to remove the shadows under the bridge. Still an effecitve shot. Good job. Jacko. 7

Great tones and DOF. Love the shadows included, helps the contrast of the photo. Nice use of lines
