Default Building to Space

I took this picture just over 3 years ago and fell in love with it the second i took it. But I would love your thoughts.

DSCF0056


Shutter Speed 1/2 sec
F/8.3
ISO-100

I just had the camera on manual and these are the settings it chose...

The bridge is a little out of focus, a tripod would've helped this shot out quite a bit. I love the composition and the colours!

I'm no pro but I'll agree about the out of focus bridge.
seems distracting to me.
other than that I like the comp.

I love the colors in this shot.

My preference would be to place the bridge (sorry eiffel tower) slant - may be a diagonal, and cover that blank space at right bottom of the frame.

Yeah I agree that it would look better going in a diagonal. Is that possible to do with editing?
