Thanks, Don. And I think your suggested changes would improve the image. 
I might play with it some more--these are the kind of adjustments I used 
to make in the wet darkroom, and so they are also kosher in Photoshop 
according to my self-imposed rules of digital imaging.

The place in question is really frustrating. The motorway on which I 
drive to work every day traverses this bridge. Sometimes I approach it 
and the light is great; but to get a decent vantage point where it is 
also safe to stop I have to take the nearest exit and drive for 3-4 km 
to the shore of the river. By the time I arrive at the spot, the light 
may have changed completely. On a couple of occasions I have considered 
just pulling over in the emergency lane on the motorway and snapping 
from there...

Thanks again for looking and commenting.
