The bridge is very impactful and dominates the scene, but I found myself wanting to see more of the cityscape (the buildings) on the far shore, especially on the left side of the picture. I think it would have given it more balance of composition.
As it is the bridge is the main focus, so then the buildings are almost distractions -- if you wanted to just show the bridge, you could crop out or eliminate the rest. But I think minimizing the bridge a little and showing more of the city would give the impression of the bridge actually GOING SOMEWHERE, giving more meaning to the picture as a whole.
I love all of your photos, though -- the blue as well as the black&whites. Such a distinct feel to them!

Dear Valdemar, thanks a lot for submitting your picture to our critique folder and I will try to give you a feedback on your beautiful picture. I like the blue colors which are showing indeed a night blues. Not only because of the color, you have given also a feeling of this blues which could be come while being alone by night. I'm not a great fan of frames, but it supports your idea of the panoramic view. Now I have looked a little bit longer onto your picture and I get the feeling something distracts my eyes and I expect this is the left part of the picture. If I have done this shot, I expect, I would have cuted this part away ... or maybe not. For sure it's the question what you want to point to and maybe you want more showing the reflections of the city and bridge and not the bridge itself. And I expect as viewing your series of the city night pictures you want to show the whole scenery I think about the technical quality isn't much to write - it's great. So hopefully you like my feedback and my personal thoughts about your picture. Have a great weekend Greetings feigenfrucht
You're the second person who's mentioned the left side of the shot, you may have a good point, but I guess I was being greedy with all the eye candy If I ever re-post this shot in another tone maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks very much for your critique
You are very welcome Indeed your picture is a great eye candy and this was only a personal suggestion. Maybe not that wrong because I'm not alone with this. But I understand you fully
