Thanks to everyone for all of the great comments. I was not sure how well this would do; I decided to enter it at the last minute and had only the jpg available and a laptop with a questionable screen. I tried to get it dialed in more by looking at the histogram than anything else.
The bridge I am photographing here is a railroad bridge that has no name and spans the James River in Richmond, VA. I had to stop my car at rush hour to get the shot from a parallel bridge, which I have done before. So far no tickets :-)

This was my favorite for the blue.
It's like a painting
As i explained in my photo i can't vote.
I am 12th and i was worried about yours from the beggining.
should place higher.
This is pretty, but it always feels a little off when the background element lines up with the subject (the top of hills with top of bridge - my eye stops right there.) Perhaps, an angle for camera lower or higher would have caused more eye-flow.
Love the sky. Great silhouette of the bridge and well done to get detail in the foreground, when it's too easy with this kind of shot to leave it completely dark.
Even though it's a slender ribbon running acros the middle of the photo, the bridge succeeds in making the photo something. I'm a sucker for sunsets and water, so I love this shot.
