COMPOSITION
This is certainly a unique perspective. Even after examining it for a full minute, I'm still not entirely sure what I'm looking at. Your photographer's note helps, but I can't tell from what perspective you've shot this bridge. The tree at the top suggests either a 90 or 180 degree rotation, but I'll be darned if I can tell. Enough already! What of the composition? Well, I like the perspective created by the very large elements at the bottom (trusses?) that recede into the distance. The large pipe at right, ditto. There's also a nice contrast throughout the photo that enhances the feel, as you said, of depth. I'm just not sure of your choice of subject. Being unrecognizable is not bad if there's a ton of naked visual appeal, and this photo doesn't hit me that way right out of the gate.
TECHNIQUE
Great sharpness, depth of field and exposure. For the length of your exposure, the light that people commented on is not all that blown, and actually adds a nice bit of interest. Given that the pipe at right is a bit dirty, I wonder what boosting the highlights would have done? Possibly made the lights intolerably blown, so you probably made the right decision.
OVERALL IMPACT
I wonder if others, like me, were confused by the image and then didn't spend enough time really looking at it? Your final score of 5.1 suggests a lot of kneejerk "5 and move on" votes, which is unfortunate. Your image doesn't have that major initial WOW factor, but is a very technically adequate photo.

| Like the idea but a little upward tilt to the camera would have been good. |

| This is a fine fine shot. The night lighting and composition make this a powerful image |

| A tighter crop may have served this photo better... Just my opinion... |

| Like the concept but far too much foreground that is not assisting the overall pic in any way. |

| You know, the perspective is fine...but the part at the bottom takes away from the composition. I understand it's physically there, but perhaps you could position yourself in a way that the rest of these...they appear to be steal beams are recognized completely in perspective. |
