    Its a good shot, exposure and composition looks good to me.

    For me though the symmetry is a little off, I like either a straight on view or more much more oblique to stress perspective. This is a few degrees off perpenducular which is neither.

    If you can, adios that ball on the wire, so the viewer doesn't spend time figuring out what it is and then try to ignore it.

    Were you in a boat?

    Yep, on a boat surrounded by alligators! Thanks for comments. So I should rotate it a little to the left maybe?

    The deck of the bridge isn't quite horizonal, it is off a tad but that doesn't really matter so much, by scrolling the picture up in my browser I can see that but if this was a large print on a wall the eye would never register that.

    Large predators nearby are always off putting when your're looking through the view finder.

    The bridge is an interesting subject, as the deck obviously raises as tall boats go under, so a long exposure shot while the bridge is raising would be interesting, not possible from the boat though.

    I just think there are better views of the bridge, A wide angle shot looking up as you approach the bridge, with the little bridge house overhead would be good.
    Did you get any more? if you have other views of the bridge it might be worth putting them up as some may work better than others.

    Technically, the horizon is a little off.

    Subjectively, there just isn't anything interesting in this photo beyond the border. What are we supposed to be looking at? There's nothing to catch and drawn the eye in.

    What he said, technically Ok ... but nothing going on here.

    Well the bridge-house is smack dab in the centre...and the whole thing is nice and symetrical. Oh and I wouldn't have called the border interesting! Ha.
