Neutral I'd say the point of view is not optimal. On the right hand side of the picture, the post for the red signal, the frame of the bridge, the raised gates, everything appears stacked. Conversely, the asphalt on the foreground takes too much space. I think a reshoot showing the bridge from the side would better demonstrate its structure and work principle (showing for instance the huge concrete slam counterweighting it).

I have tons of pictures from the side (both of them), and many similar ones are already on Commons, but I find them boring. I like this shot because it illustrates not only the bridge, but also the highway, and I believe it puts them both into the context of the village. Thanks for the comments. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 22:56, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I agree with Maurilbert's comment about "stacked" objects. The eye is drawn to the right drop gate, and the foreground is a lot of asphalt and concrete. When I looked at the image in the article, I feel like I'm not really seeing a bridge. It needs to focus more on the actual structure. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁gala xies 13:01, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
