Wow, what a super image. I like it for so many reasons.

The dynamic range of grayscale is super. Black blacks and white whites but none blow out.

The composition is beyond excellent. The rigid structure of the bridge is contrasted to the easy nature of the swimming ducks. Love it.

I like the gentle arches of the bridge, it gives a sense of serenity and calm.

The clouds are perfect for this scene. I also like the bridge reflections is the semi-calm water.

Wonderful!!

I like the monochromatic capture. It makes the photo even more interesting. The depth of the photo is impressive and amplified by the leading lines the bridge provides. The contradiction of light and shadowed areas is intriguing. The reflections and the birds in the foreground also draw the eyes of the viewer and make the photo even more interesting.

This is an interesting shot presented in B&W. You have framed it well. The perspective view of the bridge and the tiny ducks lazing in the water makes this interesting.Light and sharpness are very effective. . Thanks for sharing!

This is just a magnificent shot, and doing it in black and white was a brilliant decision. With the old bridge, it looks like it could have been taken a century ago. The framing, focus, and composition are all perfect. Nicely done!

A great photo in black and white. I like that the bridge is set to the right of the frame, and the great cloud formations add to the texture of the picture. Unfortunately I don't think the ducks add much. But still a nice photo.
