This photo of people waiting beside the train tracks was shot at night with the light from the street reflecting on the tracks and overhead wires. A slight blur, from camera movement, is intended to convey the feeling of being on a moving train. The lights and glitter in the air on the left give the event a sense of celebration.
My first ribbon :)

Looks hand-held and, assuming that was the intention, the blurring is distracting. Not sure what you were going for. Had it been shot from a tripod, I think it would have been much stronger due to the good overall exposure and vividness of the greens, backlight on the tree and reflections off the rails.
Wow. This has to be my favorite picture in this challenge. I mean, your use, I mean "mis-use" of composition, focus, light, and contrast is just amazing!!
Focus is the main issue here. In reference to content it may have been better if the train was closer to you. Not really sure if you could have pulled off a clear image.
