~ Critique Club Comment ~
Composition : Strong diagonal lines everywhere. I like the composition a lot. I'm not sure how I feel about the bit of sidewalk in the lower right corner though. Have you tried a crop that loses some of that? It may or may not be an improvement.
Exposure / Lighting : Lighting doesn't seem to be an issue (for me) here. The white pillars are certainly not overexposed and the darkest areas (under the train) are not overly underexposed. I agree that the contrast of the bridge to the train is wonderful. Maybe just a tad more saturation of the yellow channel would have brought that out even more dramatically?
Focus : I see from your comment that you already see what I am inclined to point out, but since you asked for a critique, I'll say it anyway. To show the movement of the train, you would have needed a slower shutter speed then 1/320. I don't know if you had a tripod, but you may have wanted to step it to about 1/30 or possibly even slower. I think this one change would have pushed this photo up a full point to around 5.5 or so.
Challenge / Wow : Challenge is certainly met. I think the slower shutter would have added a lot more Wow.
