The only problem I foresee here is the point you raise at the end, the fact that it's shot on private land..... Depends on what sort of land, but personally, I would approach the landowner, be straight that you are an amateur photographer and that you think the bridge would look good from there - play it down, if they ask about you making any money, jokingly suggest that you doubt it, but don't lie outright. I personally would knock up a quick 'permission to shoot from private land' form for him to sign to give yourself leeway. You don't have to state on it what the photo's are for, just that you have permission to take them. Offer them a copy of the pics you take or something, but don't admit to already having taken the pic. This is my advice based on my recent voluntary work guidelines and the fact that some landowners (organisations so far, apparently) are legally restricting commercial photo's being taken on their land - info from UK Photo magazine. Hope this helps, coz that's a great pic. (",)
