I really like this one. I like the blurred background, and the sharp focus of the thistle. Lighting in situations like this can be very challenging, and i'd have loved to see a bit more light on the subject itself. Having said that, your lighting choices did not detract anything. Someone commented that your photo was "not well centered".

Well, GOOD! I espically like the positioning here. I like the subject on the left, and the big black splotch on the right. It lends a subtle balance.

All in all, I think you were ripped off, by at least .25, if not a full half a point or more.

Nice black and white that you've captured here. The fog sure gives it a nice setting.

OK, you got my very first comment as a new user of this website because I reeeeeally like your entry.
You perfectly captured the fog, and the bridge looks like a gate to who knows where for those tiny cars... Just one criticism: I would like to see a bit more of this bridge, which would equilibrate this composition. But I like it already very much as it is. Congratulations.
