I like the motion. I like the rusted beam and the protruding ties. Just about everything in the photo is ugly. If the theme were "America The Beautiful / America The Ugly" It would get plenty of points for content and meeting the theme. The brush detracts, so do the wires, tree, and structure.

Can't quite understand why, but this doesn't do it for me. I think it looks too cluttered for the rhythmic elements to be clearly comprehended. The lighting hurts the photo in so many ways. I understand that it's not an element in the photographer's control, but I imagine the bridge could look much better in diffuse light of a cloudy day or when the sun is just below the horizon.

Never thought a photo of a bridge would make me feel clausrophobic. Nice shot.

Wow, I'm reminded how photogenic riveted structural iron can be. The exposure is perfect. The lines are strong, the rhyth effective, the vanishing point perfectly placed. Very Nice.

I like the form of the bridge. I also like the colors of the yellow and red winter wear against the white ice and gray concrete. And I get that this is two bridges: one physical and one metaphorical. But I think that visually the photo would be stronger if it were just the bridge without people or train. Alternatively I think it would be stronger if it were just about the people set against the background of the concrete bridge pier.

Very interesting color - bridge and concret piers. Great lighting. I like the green reflection of the bridge in the water. The sky adds nothing. Also, I dislike it when strong background lines coincide with major lines in the subject - see where the mountain dips to touch the bridge.

Novel, but the 'lit with a flashbulb' look doesn't work for me.

The bridge is a good choice; it's structure is very photogenic. I find everything in the left third of the photo to be extraeneous, the floating stuff to be distracting, and the sky to be too big. and uninteresting.

The reflection in the water is exquisite. Love the repeating elements on the bridge. And the blue of the sky is just right.
