Not sure this really fits the Ansel Adams style. I don't know that he ever photographed a man made bridge.

Greetings from the Critique Club

You scored pretty well with this shot, but I do think the potential was there for a slightly higher score.

I don't however, have much new to add to the comments made already. I believe the composition could be improved slightly by zooming out to give a little more space around the bear.

The lighting is quite flat (as usual at this time of year), but this could have been enhanced a bit with some post processing. I don't know if you use Photoshop, but a slight levels adjustment layer would have helped reduce the flatness of the light. I also think a small tweak to the saturation would have brought this image to life.

Now THAT is cold! Love to see a different perspective of a lighthouse - brutal, cold and harsh elements.
