Nice... I like it a lot... good placing, nice blues... and very good lighting... I'm giving this a 9, because it doesn't wow me as much as a few of the other picture. Nice job though, and good luck!

This is a great idea, however, leaving off the green and multi-colored thread would give it more of a blue feel/look.

The first thing that I see when I look at this picture is 1/3 of the image really not occupying very much. There is a lot of weighting on the right side and it makes the image look lopsided. It is a very pretty sunset shot with a bridge.. and sunset shots are only effective with a nice foreground and you achieved that here... I just dont see the relationship between the bridge and photojournalism. If you were deadset on using this particular bridge for whichever reason, I would suggest a different angle.. a little farther to the left would have greatly improved this shot. You miss out on a lot of the architecture of this bridge because it's got a compressed perspective. You would have also gotten better composition moving to the left a bit more because you'd be filling the frame a little bit more and your image would look more evenly spaced.
Regardless it's a nice attempt at a bridge/sunset picture! not bad at all!

Gorgeous! Love the orientation of the bridge to the framing, water and sunset.

nice sunset shot, not sure I like the placement of the bridge leading to the center of the photo and can't picture this on the cover of my newspaper, good photo though.

Beautiful sunset. Hope this is for a photography magazine. That's about the only way I can see it fitting the challenge. If that's the case it is a good job. PTL8 It's a great photo no matter what and it deservice a 9.

I really like this photo. I think the colour is great, and the angle and just everything... but I can't see the photojournalist shot....
