 This was built in 1898 and this track is still actively used in Davenport, IA... My hubby and I climbed up a very steep embankment so I could capture this particular picture... I thought it would be fun to capture the true inside of the tracks instead of a side view from the ground sidewalk of this wonderful structure

I like the bridge, and find the concept interesting. The sky brings the image down a bit, for me. The power line tower distracts a bit as well. The main influence is the sky. A large bland patch that darkens the bridge, and does not bring its own drama to the table.

I'd like to see this image again, earlier, or later, in the day when the sun lights the steel more dramatically.

A more centered composition, could highlife the leading lines of the tracks and the symmetry of the construction.

I like this image too, with a little post processing it could make a fine shot ( mainly lightening some areas to bring out more detail )

I enjoyed reading your notes on the photo. I love it when the photographer takes time to jot a few notes down for us to give a little insight into the wheres, hows, and whys. I also agree with the previous commenter about the composition. It's different, and I like it.

The off center composition is neat.
