*Greetings from the Critique Club*
Gorgeous image IMHO. Compositionally I love the seeing the bridge reflection, and the sort of gradient of tree building from few trees and prominent bridge on the right to more trees and disappearing bridge on the left I found very pleasing. I love the wispiness of the clouds. The trees almost come off with an HDR processed feel - which I think works well here.
Technically I also think this image is very good. I love the colors of your greens and blue. I'm not finding anything that I would change.
Your image certainly met the challenge. The only reason I can see it might not have scored higher is that many of the top scorers in the challenge had a lot of drama, colorwise/tone wise, in the image. Your blue appears quite smooth. I would be curious how this shot would look in B&W, I wonder if the some of the dynamic range would have stood out more in B&W.
But I still think you have a lovely shot. I can see this hanging as art.
