Its a good photo, but I think it's too busy. Especially the bottom with all the lights from the boats. They're brighter than the bridge and seem to distract it's attention.

you should have included a "good" option in your poll, because that's a pretty decent shot

I think that the bridge is well exposed, however, I also think that I would have focused slightly higher and avoided getting the boats in this particular shot. Why? Because of the long exposure, the boat lights are blurred, which makes it feel more distracting. It also creates a bit too much business. I think that it's a good try, but the composition could be a bit better.

PS, welcome to the forums

I think it would've been better if you just focused on the bridge or the boats. They both look real nice but it's too much when they're together, imo.

I think I just said what everyone else just said.. woops..
