Position of the train was absolutely accidental, of course. Slight barrel correction with Panorama tools. Basic level/sat, added contrast via cuves in the face area.

First off, Congrats on your high score and great finish. This photo is well deserving of that.
Second, I see you have never marked a comment as Helpful, so you either don't find any of the information provided helpful (in that case, I'm afraid I wont be of much help either, since I tend to agree with most of the comments) or you just have no intentions of acknowledging people for taking the time to offer words on your photos.
Either way, it's kind of discouraging.
Anyway, about the photo...
I love it. I think you did a wonderful job with the motion blur. The focus is excellent on the man. Very nice and crisp, great detail.
I like the colors in the background, I think that despite the bright background colors, the man still stands out nicely against the background.
I like that he is in the center of the photo. I think that works very well here in my opinion. It doesn't always work, but in this case, I like it.
Lighting also appears good. Editing works great too.
Not really much else to say about a 7th place 6.56 scoring image but great job.

Beautiful. Totally contrived, of course; but beautiful, nonetheless.
The two horizontal lines work well, as does the vivid colours of the train. The position of the subject - very close to, but not quite, in the dead-centre of the shot - does bug me somehow. Maybe it needs to be more obviously asymmetrical.
I really enjoy the primary colors on the train - and great pose! Interesting contrast between the noise that train is most likely causing and the quiet, calm meditator.
Wow - nice timing to get the great color background. This shot really conveys the contrast between calm and motion. Even the blue to the sides of the brighter-colored bits of train draw your eye inward to the main subject/background. A 10!
guessing it's a southwest train! i quite like this, in that the set up is a bit odd. the most dynaic thing about this is the orange line that runs through the image; so strange that it's so straight. the image doesn't really encourage meditative thoughts though - seems bit noisy to me. it's difficult to vote based on concept, but technically it's sharp and well lit; just generally lacks that certain sparkle. 5.
