I didn't get to making comments this challenge but this was absolutely one of my favorites. Lovely image.

Looks like an endless bridge. Very nice job leading the eye to infinity. The calm water really helps to make the reflections pop out of the shot.

If I could vote - this would be an 8 or 9 -- really like the symetry (I'm sure you heard from others the "don't put stuff in the middle" rule but.... it works here)

Should have tried to make the water more of a focal point somehow.

This would be an interesting shot to play around with angles and perspectives. The way you did this shot is the typical angle used. Next time try puttting the camera closer to the ground (below the level of the rails). You'll get a totally different feel. This might not have worked for this challeng though as it would take emphasis away from the water. Nice tones here. The bridge almost looks like it was oversharpened a touch though.

Good composition. The handrails seem a little grainy or out of focus. I might have tried cropping out the left side of the photo.

Very nice shot, just a little boring, but extremely well executed

I like this photo......nice sharp long depth of field....I like the water on each side too. The bridge looks like it can go on forever....

This is a very pretty shot, that was my first thought, the mirror like calmness of the water was captured very well, I also like the way you captured the bridge with the aperature high so as to focus on the length of the bridge, this is a very good shot, 9

The water is still as glass - nice shot. Love the reflections.
