Greetings from the Critique Club! :)
This is quite a beautiful scene. I love the reflection in the water. My first gut reaction to the image is that I wish it were wider...my eyes keep searching for the span of the bridge, as the narrow presentation makes it feel sort of cramped. HOWEVER, this presentation also accentuates the height, so I guess it's a catch 22. I love the golden hue of the light, and it appears that you shot it at a great time of day. I would like more light on the trees; perhaps some curves and dodging would bring out the details a bit more. I think some saturation boost might be in order as well. Of course, I'm viewing this from an LCD panel at work so it could all be my monitor.
As far as the challenge goes, I think people were looking to be more "wowed" than to simply appreciate good images of pretty places. It's a great shot, and in a bridge challenge it would probably have placed much higher.
Keep shooting and if you have any questions, please let me know. :)
Take care,
Laurie
