First,

and thanks for jumping in with both feet and posting an image.
Wouldn't worry too much about the light pole. I wouldn't have noticed it had you not mentioned it. But Gimp should be able to clone it out pretty easily. Haven't used Gimp in a while, but there should be some type of clone brush and with a pretty solid background it's not too bad to fix.
I'm really digging the reflections, although I'm a bit of a sucker for that sort of thing.
Would it be possible to get a wider shot? Maybe crop out top and bottom to get a little less of a 4x6 proportion. Don't know this bridge, but I'd guess there's more to the right and left that we're missing out on.
And you might want to cross post this image into one of the other boards - fine arts maybe. The way this particular critique board is set up anyone can post, and you can reply to your posts, but only a handful of users - the ones with "Pro Critique" next to their names - can reply. If you post it over on the fine arts board anyone can chime in.
