Not quite a technical success as the image appears to be less than sharp, crisp and detailed even though it's not - the bridge is fine, with just on the edge highlights, but the rather vague foreground against the heavy lighting effect in the background creates this impression. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. One aspect of this image that the author missed, but would have been very effective, is the abstract/impressionist reflection on the water. If the author had maneuvered to capture that effect, it would have made an unbelievable image in the style of Claude Monet.
