Greetings from the Critique Club
Overall, good technicals. The shot is well exposed, sharp and has good contrast. Your composition could be good but it lacks that something extra. While you don't need to have a subject it does help and here your composition is begging for one. A vanishing point, a figure cast in shadow down the road or something. Instead there is just a quasi end to things but not really as the bridge sweeps further away from view so I'm left wondering what exactly is the point of the angle.
Your title suggest that maybe you want to make this more about the bridge rather than the street but here you only used the bridge as a guide. Perhaps a wider angle would be the ticket. It would give you that subject and maintain the flow of the image.
Looking at some of the comments you've received I disagree that this didn't meet the challenge. It's a street scene and despite not having people in it does contain human elements, which is all that is needed for such a challenge. In fact it's better to hint at something than to be obvious about it but for these challenges it's usually best to go with the latter if you want to score better.
That's pretty much it. Keep in mind that this is just my opinion. |

| This needs a point of interest -- I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. It also needs some type of human connection to really fit the genre of street photography. |

| Fantastic shot. The title is perfect and the colour enhances the feeling of lonliness and desolation. |

| nice moodiness, but this really doesn't have a ton to hold this viewers interest. i think if you cloned out all of the street lights leaving only the one on the bridge, i might be getting more on board with this image. |

| I'm not sure I get the title, hmm. Was the yellow tint intentional? The composition does draw you in, but overall it doesn't quite work for me. Just an honest opinion. |

| I love the setting but I'm missing the human element. I think it's essential in impactful street photography. |
