It looks like you really walked the area to get the best composition.  I really like everything you have going on.  The water, the foreground leaves and the placement of the bridge in the frame is pretty good.  I also like the exposure.  The tree in the foregound is nice and dark and the sky is bright.  Good contrast.

Here are somethings that I noticed.  It's odd how neither opening to the bridge have much interest.  The left side is cut off and the right side just has a little patch of gray after it.  I wonder what this shot would look like backed up about 5-10 feet.  So that all the bridge is in the scene.

The color temperture looks a little off.  The grass appears to almost have a yellowish glow.

The clouds look a little blown out.  Stopping down your exposure compensation might have yeilded interesting results.

Did you do any post processing?  I think this image would really benefit from some minor adjustments to tint, saturation and contrast adjustments.

Great photo.  Thanks for sharing.

Yes did you see that there is chromatic abberation in the picture. If you zoom to 100% and look at the tall bridge around it you will notice color bleed. You usually get this from high contrast scene. Also i would take more time arranging and reducing clutter. Yes post processing is nice. BUt if you can do it right in the camera it saves you time post processing. Good attempt.
