Creative choice of subject. I like how the low sun warms and emphasizes the subject. I don't mind the high contrast, but some fill to lighten the shadows might have enhanced. Nicely composed. Good DoF choice.
I know this is a bridge challenge, but I think this would also be cool with the bridge thing out of focus and the waves in. For its purposes, though, this works well. It's a unique shot. Would maybe have cropped out that sliver of support on the left, or included more of it.
Oh, my gosh - that rusty structure is a feast for the eyes. Just a couple area distract from it, though: opposite shore leaving pockets under the bridge arcs, & the yellow triangle at upper right.
Subject, background, the low sun all add up to a great photo.
If I HAD to be picky, I'd get rid of the top right corner, its distracting.
Lovely shot. 8
Rusted steel and iron work can take on such extraordinary almost organic shapes and textures. And here it is lit superbly with warm orange sunset light at just the right angle. But I find the wave, the sliver of a column on the left edge, and the wedge of yellow at the top right corner distracting.
I only u have cropped that tiny little part on the far left side of the image, and maybe, a shallower DOF.
I think it looks just gorgeous! giving it an 8
