for a title of "Sea & Sky", this shot encompasses far too much land. The bridge, too, becomes a primary focus that required me to look at the title to discover what opposite was being struck here. And I while I will certainly grant that trying to get rich, opposing colors out of water and sky can be next to impossible, having the only bold color statement in a picture thus entitled be the green of the grass completely defeats any other color statement that could have been made here.

It's a shame we can't actually *see* where the sea and the sky meet, because the focal point of the photo (the bridge) is in the way...

I like the idea here - how there's a rugged landscape and then these structures that bind the two sides of the river together. I like the use of the right side tree to ground that side of the composition. I'd only suggest that you rotate slightly to counter clockwise to get your horizon straight.

Nice shot, a little dark, but all in all a nice shot.

your horizon is quite tilted in this image which is very much of a distraction

You should look at my site and see the photo for Where You Live Challenge. Same Bridge. Picture is slightly downsloping to the right. Otherwisse nice shot.

It would be nice if the bridge went straight across the photograph, not at a slight angle. It would also be kind of pretty if the bridge was not in the center of the picture.

I see opposite ends of the bridge but not sky meeting the sea that is all blocked out.

i think it would be better if you fixed the tilt and maybe crop out a little bit of the bottom.

You could have straightened the bridge, it looks tilted. Some contrast/levels editing in PS could have improved the photo. Nice scene...

Nice, but I think it could use a little more exposure to bring a stronger colour to the pic. 7

It's important to get the horizon horisontal in pictures , particularly if the point of the picture is the horizon.

Nice shot, beautiful subject. The horizon is not strait though. You're allowed to rotate the image in basic editing.
