Beautiful photo, I like it as is. Would be difficult to really critique without seeing the full size file. IF you want to upload the full size file for us to examine, just click the "store original" box beside the file name when you upload.
This should probably have gone into the Photo Gallery section.

Except that all he'll get there is the 'that's nice' stuff.
That's why I never go there. Worried I'll get diabetes from all the sugar.

There is a lot more good info than that. And I will not go to the PC&A section because of the big egos, etc that exist there!

What you saw was good. You got what you wanted in focus. You didn't play.....you need to ....Walk around what you picture is a good shot in your mind till you find the great shot and what you need in it and what you don't want.
The bridge has two handrails but only one is photographed in entirety. hey you got it square! but cropped a bit too tight. (or not...its your photograph) if its there put it back..
Is the bridge too square on - would an angle shot be better (try... digital costs nothing and you may not be back that way again) sometimes the scattergun approach is best.
You have a bit of trees and sky that have little to do with the primary red color and the shadow lines. walk closer and also zoom in tighter (is that better?) does this show what you felt when you looked? does it tell the story better. Lovely blue sky great contrast with red (could you have used that too)
Does it need a person in it? Chinese bridge on the plates have people on them. (better? worse? emulate a style(copy) use subtle imagery that is familiar to most people to round out a picture's 'feel')
Would you frame this photograph and put it on the wall at home...? Why.. in three words (thats probably what you were trying to capture) why not...thats your personal critique (listen to it) and remember for the next time
hope this is helpful and don't let the b.....rs grind you down. you are doing ok

Hey, I didn't say it wasn't good, 'cuz it is.
Just pointing out that the Main Discussion is not really the place for it.

Welcome to the forum!
Nice picture. The left side post is missing from the photo.
I like the colors and the shadow.

Nice. That red really stands out. If I were taking that shot, I would try to make it more symmetrical.
