This was the last of 3 photos I shot of a train coming at me. I forgot to turn of the VR on the lens, since the camera was mounted on a tripod and that tends to mess up the focus.
I really have no idea how far the train was from me, as soon as the shutter snapped shut I grabbed the tripod and ran for it.

The focus on the whole image is too soft. That detracts from the drama and sense of danger. It also looks washed out on my monitor. I'd try sharpening, saturation, and contrast. That may improve it, but I don't think it will make up for the original poor focus.
It's a shame this was not a bit sharper, it's an excelent shot, with the train comming straight at you, lighting, and framing are both excelent, just a bit soft, could be you were running low on time.
