Grüner See, Styria 2010. A picture I have made in the summer of 2010 when I visited Austria. An underwater bridge!

I'll try to expand/add on some points brought up by others.

On lighting: When working with natural scenery, your lighting is at the mercy of the local climate and weather. Some photographers take the "same" photo over a period of days at different times to get the shot that best displays and captures the feeling of that place. So, aside from the golden times mentioned by another Deviant, any time of day is an experiment for the sake of comparison if needed.

To add "on the use of tripod," yes, it is of utmost importance. The slightest shaky hand can have grave effects. One thing that I wish this picture had: I wish the water waves would be clearer, although it does seem that the emphasis is on the rock/ bridge are, (which makes sense), so this particular grievance can be chalked up to my individual taste.

Also, while this picture is fine in terms of composition (I particularly enjoy the branches from the right side, also on the left-bottom corner), I would like to see more of the actual bridge--even if it's done in another photo.

Most writers are told "write, write, write," to get better.

Traditional Artists are told, "draw, draw, draw."

I remember watching a documentary about a photographer doing a set of photos on African Elephants in their natural habitat. She went back home with almost a thousand photos, I think. She said that some of her final choices she wouldn't have expected--since they were chosen by her boss--all because she took as many pictures as possible. OF course, it was done with good technique as much as possible.

So, with that in mind, take as many pictures as possible. Experiment with angles, distances, and as mentioned, times of day. Good luck.
