Good shot Alun, only one little point though the water at the bottom looks a little burnt out

Are those lights on the bridge to illuminate the water at night?
Nice composition, though I have to agree with Leslie, a little more detail in the foam would be good.

Nothing nicer then an old bridge... this makes me feel like sitting on a rock and dangling my feet in the water...

Nice shot. The 3 lights under the bridge are intriguing.

Strong composition on this one, Alun. Too bad the foreground is washed out - a neutral gradient would have been good here - or some highlight/shadow work in Photoshop.

@Stephen Phillips: The only way you can put colour back would be in raw photoshop. but this is a jpeg and the water is blown, which means there is no colour infomation in that spot. geting it right in the first place would have worked better, thanks for the idea Stephen
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
I would have liked to see the other half of the bridge aswell, too bad about the burnt highlights. Better to shoot RAW.

@Observing: Hello, its a funny old bridge, there isn't a hole arch, It ends just after you see it and the old house it goes into was bit messy, Cheers mate
JJ from Jersey City, United States
such an interesting spot, a nice mix of nature and manmade especially with the lights mounted on the bridge
