Bridge

Here is a shot I took near my house of a local bridge at night over the Delaware River. Thoughts & critique?

Overall I think it's a nice image. The composition feels balanced with enough foreground to balance the image but not too much. Seems like a good aperture choice for that lens to produce nice defined points of light with nice starbursts. Focus and overall sharpness seem good, too. Perhaps the WB could be adjusted a bit as it seems a little too yellow. I know street lights tend to create a yellow cast, but maybe play with it and see if you can remove some of the overly warm color cast. Also perhaps shorten your exposure a little to bring down the highlights caused by the brightest street lights to the right in the image.

I can't find much of anything technical that I would change, but the image doesn't really move me. Perhaps if that bridge had particular importance to me, like being where I lived, that could make a difference. Otherwise it is a great start!
