New bridge just outside Amsterdam, connecting the mainland to a new piece of land that was man-made for the purpose of building a new township. This bridge, the Enneüs Heermabrug has become a landmark from the road and from the air.

Initial thoughts Beautiful bridge, meets the challenge, a little too much water in foreground.
Composition/ Content I really like this bridge a lot. That being said, I wish I could see it a little better. There is a bit too much water and not enough bridge. I don't know for sure if you have enough lens or there is a place to get close enough to it but a closer shot would be great. If not possible then you need to crop about half of the foreground water and make more of a panorama shot.
Technical Focus seems good but the contrast seems like it could be turned up just a bit to make the bridge stand out against the sky more. A blue sky would be great but it is awfully hard to control the weather!
My Opinion On The Photo I originally scored this shot a six which was a touch higher than most of the voters. I think that it meets the challenge well but could have been improved a little to finish even higher than it did. Good job, and keep up the good work.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

This would look really cool as a panorama shot without so much water in the forground, The water is a little bit distracting and takes away from the subject of the bridge.
The matching of the wavelike structure of the bridge, with the waves in the water is brilliant. The bridge is obviously the main focus here (unlike many cityscape shots for this challenge), and the division according to the rule of the thirds is good. For a suggestion, I might like to see this shot outside of the monochrome.
