A nice clean well composed shot but the colour looks washed out

I'd reprocess and maybe boost the contrast to give it some more umph!

Here's a more modern interpretation, taken from a similar viewpoint, but with more modern tackle!

Second one for me as it better captures the sense of scale.
 
For me the 2nd is the better of the 2. A different time of day would make a better pic, that would get rid of the glare coming from the left.
 
Thanks everyone for your comments. I do agree the second image is much preferred, as to the time of day
We were drivng through the area and only had a brief time to make the second image.
I would have liked to take the photo at a different time of day and in varying weather conditions, a google search will reveal
Countless impressive photos of he viaduct.
Cheers
 
We watched a great documentary about this bridge... fascinating!

I quite like the tones and colour but I wish you had a wider crop of the first pic.

I'd like to see a combination of these shots if that would be at all possible; by that I mean both the bottom of the supports and also the top of the bridge. I think that would further enhance illustrating the sheer size of it
 
Second better. That's a wonderful structure to be sure.
 
A true modern wonder - the first time I drove over it I had to circle back just to drive over it again !
 
Very much prefer the second. But thanks for reminding me it was misty the day I visited it :(
 
makes me want to go there (more than before)
second one for me - as others have said, it is the scale that amplifies the scale of the bridge.......
 
Love this bridge, it was the highlight of my drive to Barcelona last year, even booked a might in Millau on the way back just to see more of it, unfortunately, the weather was terrible on the way back with low fog.

The 2nd pic is the better of the 2, but could still be better imo. The background looks a bit washed out still but the composition is spot on.

What? …no one detected the nasty moiré in both images?

Moire? So bad on technical stuff, but I guess you mean the 'patterning' in the suspension cables?

Would this not be due to compression in the resizing/uploading? Can't say that it worries me.

They are both quite 'literal' photographs, I can't help but feel there is more creative potential in the subject. I have stood on the same spot, it was a very cloudy day, deserved long exposure, but I didn't have the kit.

Yes Toby you got it. Very nasty stuff to have on any shot! Good RAW converters have a special tool for this.
