Not doing much for me, sorry . Perhaps the building and trees are demanding more attention than the bridge. Perhaps it's not clear why the bridge is there. I imagine there is a view that would isolate some architectural aspect of the bridge?

Yes, I just added one above this one.

There's something about that building and the bridge together that is pleasing. I also like the PP on the first one. Maybe a square crop? Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up cloning out a few things that were distracting on the second pic but think it works better in wide format.

I like the replaced second image in your original post a lot more than the others. I think it may be a bit confusing to people to replace images this way, better to add posts or even start a new thread.

I really like the first image as is. I like the print tone and the detail you achieved here. Nice shot.

I like this view better but unfortunately all I see is sadness knowing the history of the bridge.

I think the cars on the lower bridge are a distraction from the intricate beauty of the building and the bridges. I would like to see that shot was a ND filter stopped down about 10 f-stops and shot with a longer exposure to eliminate the vehicles. What and where are the structures? I just love architectural images.

its the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, CA

Yup. I had the same thought as Peeaanuut here. Sad history. Iconic birdge, in a sense. And immediately familiar to anyone who's lived in the LA area.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I hope to get a night shot when I have a tripod available in a few weeks. Unfortunately, it's rather difficult to get to the place where the first shot was taken.

Make sure you get the camera level, shoot RAW and do a lens correction in PP (and may be correct perspective a little more).

Definitely prefer #1 and would love to see it in color although the conversion works very well.

Thanks guys. These were shot raw and pp lens corrections were applied. I am going to reshoot both in the coming weeks so will try a few things differently. Thanks for the feedback.
