Fabulous landscape that is very beautiful to observe. I can feel the wind and the chill. A good shot but there are two things holding this back from being a great shot. First off is that there seems to be a lack of sharpness to the scene (oddly the coulds appear in good focus). I'm thinking that mayhap the sharpness is there on the original large size and this is a case where resizing a large file in one stop has some loss of detail. It is better to do the resizing of a large image file in two or three stops with a sharpen in between - you suffer less loss of detail that way. If the less tack sharp is not due to resizing you can recover a bit of the lost detail with use of USM (unsharp mask /sharpen feature) but be careful not to go overboard. Lastly, the composition could be even stronger if you played up the strength of using the bridge as a leading line in the photo. I think it would be a stronger composition if you captured the full arch of the bridge where the other arch point/base springs out of the bottom left hand corner - the lines would then lead the eye to the span of beauty beyond.

DOF seems to be putting this as a miniature. Doesn't seem to work.

I like the drama of the battle between light and dark in this shot. the blur of the right half of the shot adds a dreamy quality.

Some Purple fringing at the top of the shot but otherwise it is good. Difficult scene to shoot
