Nice silhouette and composition. I really like the sailboats on the left.

Oh I bet you cheered when that bird flew over... assuming it wasn;t added later under these scary new rules. Still, awesome shot, very atmospheric and bonus points for the bird.

Good capture of the bird. I find the colour wash effective in this shot, and the deep contrast between the bird and the rest of the image draws my eye to it immediately.

Wow, this looks like HDR (I mean this as a compliment not an accusation). You have pulled off the impossible by perfectly exposing everything in a low light situation. Good job. But if I could add one tiny suggestion, the trees behind the bridge could use some burning, I don't know... could be my monitor.

Comment by Ann:
Composition and framing are good, but it looks like this was taken at high noon on a sunny day. There's a lot of contrast, and to properly expose the white flowers, the bug and leaves are too dark. If you had a bug available at the right time, an early morning or late afternoon shot (or one taken in the shade or cloudy day) would have worked better, because the light would be softer and easier to work with.
