    I'm not sure how to describe what I think about this ... but it is good. You've taken a boring bridge with steel pipe rails and made it interesting! Nice work!

    I like the treatment, but I'm not sure about the composition. Maybe a a portrait crop?
    Like MA said, you've made a boring bridge interesting.

    Having a fresh look a couple hours later, i think the bank on the right is too light, it isn't matching the bank on the left so well. a little bit darker and it may focus the eye on the bridge some more.

    I agree as well - It's a way cool shot/treatment but the composition is off for me.

    The treatment has turned a rather boring shot into something very interesting. Imagine what it can do to an image which is interesting to begin with. Please continue with this effect, it looks really cool!

    Well first I do like the bridge part but I find both sides which I assume are water just looks off, I am trying to be more specific but it just looks distracting. I would recommend what I might think you should or can do with it without seeing the original photo. I am of course the minority it seems. I think if the water appeared crisper it would make the shot.
