Nice capture - good "feel", and well framed. Only slight downside (IMO) is the timing - I think the people would be better if "balanced" better by the bridge - also the two ?ducks? are just in the wrong place - great shot, but I think that your timing is very slightly off. That said - I have the luxury of sitting and analysing the picture, not standing in the freezing cold taking it!
Generally speaking though - nice shot!
[and I still have the utmost respect for anyone who can shoot film!]

I like the people in this, they give a certain sense of scale to the image.
The ducks, I'm not so keen on, but not much you could do about that!
All in, a very good shot, makes me want a 6x6 camera to compliment my 6x4.5.

Definitely keep the people in - gives a sense of scale to the shot. On balance, i'd loose the ducks though. Maybe something like this...
Nice use of the Neopan - smooth enough to suit the misty look, yet just enough contrast to make something of the tree on right of frame. I like the overall composition - half and half for the reflections, yet something happening on the upright thirds. Maybe a half a step back, just to get the stay wire anchored onto the bridge rather than just out of frame, whilst still keeping the tree-trunk on rhs frame edge ?

Definitely keep the people in, they add so much, scale & clone the ducks out. I may be tempted to crop just a little from the top to just above the top of the bridge support. If printing in a darkroom would use a harder paper than you have shown here to just boost the contrast slightly but still leave the softness created by the mist. A lovely composed image worth trying a few takes on the final output but dont feel this is quite there yet.

Definitely leave the people in - as has been said, they improve the picture by giving perspective - my comment was just that I'd have preferred the shot taken 1 second later when they were central between the two cables. As I also said - simply a thought for the future - still a great pic!

I guess that has to be the Blackweir Bridge at Pontcanna Fields. Nearly 20 years since I lived just round the corner on Colum Place...
I'd tend to agree. Just a little more space on the left would help.
