Great shot! I love the off-center framing, the use of one bridge to frame another, the range of different styles in the picture, etc.

Nice shot. Wise choice of fast film to remove the risk of blurring through camera motion (apologies to non-UK list members who might not get the joke there). I particularly like the way it encompasses 3 different bridge architectures in a cascading composition.

A great composition. There's a lot going on here such that you have to study it a bit.

Very interesting and unique concept using the structure of one bridge to frame the view of two more; all three with different architectures. I don't know if this was possible, but would be tempted to lean out a little more to get the I-Beam on the right more toward the frame edge, and do the same with the diagonal brace on the left. The structures on the upper right are a slight distraction. Some cropping can also very easily accomplish the same thing. The choice of B&W, and its gray-scale along with the washed-out sky tones give it a timeless feeling.

Good idea about the composition John. Thanks all.
