Default bridge

Could you please offer critique on whether this works in B&W? If so, how is the conversion? Any comments or suggestions on the composition?

Thanks in advance.

I like your conversion and the overall exposure here. The trees around the bridge and the sky behind them may feel cluttered but I think they all bring something to the table. My only issue is how completely centered the bridge is. With the leading fence lines and seeing through the bridge, the whole image starts turning into a tunnel. If you can get back there, you might want to try experimenting with different shooting angles and positioning of the main subject off of center.

Looks really good to me. The B&W looks good, as you have whites, blacks and a variety of midtones. I think the centered composition works well in this case. I might have used f/11 to get a little more DOF. This image really draws me in and I want to take a walk on that bridge. Very well done!
