Nice scene. Better control of the composition and light would have been better in my opinion. Also needs straightening. Looks like you may have not processed and resized this well either. Need 640 with an image like this especially.
Your image is hurt by an overexposed sky and horizontal tilt. Perhaps if you zoomed in or moved closer to the bridge, so the trees wouldn't crowd your focal point?
I'm sure I don't have to say alot, I'm guessing DPC has already let you know why this photo is only middle of the road; (my personal opinon)?
1. the sky is a little blown out (no detail)
2. lots of "iso noise" in the image; gives the fuzzy look
3. you're aloud to submit a larger 640x? picture (than 500x347), this will alow for the viewer to be drawn 'into' your image.
Please don't take this personal at all, I would just like to share a few of my personal pointers. BB
Pretty composition, though it feels a bit off-kilter (perhaps the bridge really is at an angle to the ground, though). Overbright and flat-looking lighting on my monitor.
