Very Nice image Mike with some neat tonal separation, lovely reflections and a straight horizon. It is well balanced left to right and the arches add interest by breaking up the verticals and horizontals.
Your comment on colour statue. Yes it does tend to lose some perception of scale, as you are no doubt aware I cloned out Brownhills which as you say is probably a good idea. the image with buildings in it actuall does not look that bad and may be better as a mono image. Cheers

That's a strong looking bridge Mike, I find myself looking through each arch and seeing a different picture :) Very good BW work.

This is very nice Mike, you achieve a tone that reminds me of darkroom days and I like it a lot.
