It looked so good in the thumbnail, but full size shows major glare problems.

Appears to have been taken through a window that gave you some reflections at the top. Not much you can do to fix that in basic editing and would still be some work in advanced.

Nice perspective. Too bad that reflection though...

One of my favorites. A tiny bit more shadow detail in the left bridge would improve it even more.

Strange light and colours. There are some horizontal shadows in the upper part of the picture. I wonder what is it. The sky looks unreal - it's so intensely blue. Nice leading line, nice subject. Good luck.

Nice leading lines and I like the support piers underneath. Your color looks very turquoise here. Not sure...

What are those lines in your picture. Reflection? Great composition but lacks detail.

This would have been a great image for this challenge, subject's great. But on the technical side, it looks like you shot this through a (car?) window. There's glare or reflection that goes horizontal in the upper part and some reflection splotches. You might get knock down for that.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I didn't actually vote on this image (I only managed 20% in the 9 challenge) but had I done so I would likely have given it a 5/6.

I do like the subject and the composition is great. The centered composition with a square crop was certainly the best way to go with this one. The depth of field was a good choice.

For me though the lighting seems a bit flat. I think you could likely have corrected some of this in post processing. I dragged the image into Photoshop CS3 and noticed that an adjustment (using Adobe Camera Raw) in the white balance settings brightened the image up a lot, made the background whiter (without having to adjust exposure, brightness or levels) and overall the image had a bit more depth.

I also agree with Ericwoo about the border, I feel the black doesn't enhance the image at all.

Still, overall I think it was a nice idea that fell a bit flat in the execution.
