hucker.....you need to get your sensor or lens cleaned. And what's that white smudge looking thing just to the left of the bridge structure?

Looks like a lens flare? The compositions looks fine but the silhoutte is to heavy, to much negative space at the bottom and to bright at the top. You might could have used a grad filter here.

To me the image and outline are good but the colors are a little murky with a grey cast. I want the blues to be bluer and the whites to be whiter. I am also unsure if I like that tree in the lower left corner.

I do think you have a great idea here and since you live there no reason you can't keep working on it until it is perfect.

The tree on one side and the buildings on the other side of the bridge IMO shows how this bride take you from a more flat area kinda of country to the big city.. the tree helps IMO.

Thanks again.

Is there anyway you could move around to make that (or any other) tree a larger part of the image to balance out the buildings across the river?

This type of situation screams for HDR. Take several shots, expose the first for the sky and gradually increase exposure for the shadow. Then layer them in PS or what ever and mask out the areas to blend into a single image.

You can reduce the light in the sky and still have a sillouette effect but not be as harsh on the eyes.
