Taken in Maastricht, Netherlands. I wish the focus were better. It seems hard to me to get the focus right on night shots, any suggestions? Also you can see on the lower left some distortion. A barge just happened to be coming at me when I took it.

Great reflections! Lights definately gave the overall picture an orange tint which is a bit unfortunate. Still a good subject and shot! Way to wait until night time to shoot, and wait for the lighting!

A very impressive bridge, I like the reflections.

It's very hard for me to find the right words. So please take it as my impression, what I see in your shot. Although you have real strong colors and an interesting object, I don't receive what you tried to accomplish. If it's for the colors, then there is too much black and darkness in your picture. If it's about composition, it's neither centered, nor symetrical. If it's about lines, there are too many interruptions , e.g. in the reflection of the arc, the line of light covered by the trees. I'm not sure that the position you took the picture is the best one to show off this bridge in its beauty. You might consider going back and reshooting, e.g. showing the traffic over the bridge and framing the traffic with the bridge. Having the arc crossing diagonally through the picture, something unusual about the bridge, not just as it spanns the river. Just some initial thoughts looking at your picture.

Because of the glow from the lights it's all a bit mushy for me.
