Default Bridge and Bench



I thought that this shot was neat, despite losing some detail in the highlights. Any thoughts?

Somehow my eyes lands at the top right corner (coz of the darkness?) without landing in Bridge or Bench.

I prefer some more information on the grass and the bridge rather than bright highlight. I would have cropped the top and left extension of the bridge which distracts the attention.

The bench is hidden in the bridge, the story of a lone bench in front of the bridge is getting lost. The bench is definitely following the rule of thirds but the leading lines do not point to it.

To draw the attention to the bridge I would have taken another angle.
I would have shown some more of the path to the bridge.
Most of the times a path or a road draws the viewers eyes to the "subject" in the picture.
With another angle you could place the bench next to the bridge, making it more visible.

try from the opposite side. the bench would not be lost and the bridge would still have the same angle. I like it all except for the bench
