Just one little tiny white space above the right side of the image is a minor flaw in an otherwise moody and purposeful image. The color is a very interesting shade of blue that one doesn't often see - a kind of Williamsburg Blue and some of the slight color changes are very effective. A good solid entry into the challenge.
While I love the colors here, the blue is beautiful, not overly saturated, but it still pops, I also think this photo lacks a bit of depth that a different angle/including more of the train would have provided.
