The light here is gorgeous - it seems to be that lovely soft light of either morning or evening. Great find with the tree growing there - makes you wonder if it was intentionally planted or just sprung up on its own.

Wow. That is a cool...train? It's nice and rugged.

good textures and lighting on the side of the train thought the end of the carriage feels kind of grainy/noisy.

Quite an interesting train! I think perhaps that I would like to see the entirety of the railcar, as opposed to having it cropped off.

I love to find something like this to photograph, as I just love old things, and this one has so much character, and wonderful textures as well.....

Your composition is good here. I like how the tree provides a "stable" starting point, and the train leads the eye out of the frame. The colors are a bit strange to me. It almost looks like you brightened it too much in pp, or applied too much of a curves adjustment to it and it caused you to lose some details.

A little too much uninteresting sky.

this looks great on my monitor at work... and just like that Whitting guy, though personally I think your subject matter is more interesting. Better composition, too.

Nice shot. You should have used this for the trains challenge. I think it would be nice to see the saturation increased a tad.
