Taken with F number 4.5 Exposure time 1.5 Focal length 20mm Lens 18-135mm

Looks like no feedback so far so let me be the first.

On the plus side you got a good subject, which always helps. However the light was uninspiring to say the least. The image appears a touch soft too, but leaving that aside I wonder if some more interest is needed for the eye to focus on, maybe one or two people on the bridge. Do you have any others from the same location?

Last nights (9th March) Photoshop tutorial should come in handy here [LOL]

Nina makes some good points

I'm afraid the photo doesn't jump out and wow me and as Nina says some kind of human interest or action would liven it up and make it more compelling.

Just some technical tweaks I would suggest too -

I'd clone out the triangle of wall at the bottom left, replacing it with river
Look for the "Remove Chromatic Aberration" checkbox in Lightroom and select it - if you see the trees in the background they have coloured fringes around them that can be easily removed.
The whole scene does look a little soft and if your exposure time is 1.5 seconds that might explain it, although that's a long exposure for what seems to be daytime?

Hope this helps
