No, they are not all out of focus; the bridge is in better focus (from here).
Depending on your camera and if it has several focusing
points, auto focus is good, esp from a distance such as this.
Maybe more DOF? .... this time of day is tricky alright.
Try bracketing different exposures from f8 on up.
If your on a tripod the slower shutter speed are good for
the moving waters in the foreground.
I'm glad to know your using your tripod.
Keep up the good work . . . . . .

I noticed with the first one that just scrolling the photo down a bit on my monitor so it 'cropped' a bit of the foreground, it brings the eye more along the bridge as it goes off into the distance. If something in the foreground (or elsewhere sometimes) seems to be sticking up more than looking good in the photo, it might help to change your vantage point a bit.
EXCELLENT POINT! I never thought of that , but I just did the "scroll" (down to 1/2 of the first pillar, & the bridge looks great like that. Thanks for teaching this old dog a new trick.
