Taken to one of the first railroad steam engines ever brought to Costa Rica. Now lying still as a museum exhibit in the first railroad station in Costa Rica. Some contrast and brightness adjustments and resizing for submission.

I like the angle of view and the roses alongside the track, but the image looks overprocessed. There are a lot of jagged edges along straight lines, the lighter colors looks strange, almost glowing, and the whole image looks oversaturated. A bit too much of everything.
The angle, content and composition of this image is good. A train with flowers growing around the wheels works well for this challenge. Oversharpening it to produce a very bad case of the "jaggies" should not have been done. There are several places across the image with overexposed, burned in areas too. This is distracting to an otherwise excellent picture.
Good angle, and nice shot, espeically with the flowers to show it's been there for awhile. There's some blowout in the top right corner, though, and the shot's a little blurry on the whole.
Nice shot. :) Too bad the locomotive wasn't in disrepair and rusted with weeds growing around it, giving it that "abandoned" look. This engine looks so clean, you'd think it was used daily and wonderfully maintained. Keep it up!
