A nice photo that was obviously taken at sunset/sunrise but seems to be more about a bridge and water.

great light on the bridge - the sun just seems a bit too far left...

Nice lines on the bridge, and the surface of the water is definitely neat looking. A bit of clouds would be a nice addition, but I still like this how it is.

good colors, a little green in the water (saturation?) good focus..

I like this shot a lot, the orange sun reflecting on the bridge brings it out really nicely and the reflection on the water makes a great offset to the positioning of the bridge.

Just a couple of things I think might have improved the image:

It would have been nice to see a bit more of the bridge, it sort of curves back on itself leaving you wanting to see the rest.

It might have been nicer if the shot was opened out a touch to bring the sun in a little more towards the left third.

It looks like there's something weird happening with the sun's reflection, I can see some green on the water, it could have been worth while editing that out.

Anyway, I know I sound very negative, but overall I think it's a great shot!

Looks a little too sharp on the ripples but a nice composition.
