I liked how you composed this, the wide expanse of the land and the lonely engine off to the side, seeming abandoned as the ragged bushes grew up around it in the middle of nowhere, or so it seems. Nicely seen scene that should have done better in the challenge.

Nothing feels very sharp about this pic. I don't think the black and white does it any favors. The train is so dark that it's hard to make out any details there, just looks like a dark blotch to me. I think if more of the side were included it would be easier to make out details there.

Could use a little more contrast - or be shot at a different time of day. All the greys are like blurring into eachother.

From a technical standpoint, this is a good effort - not as crisp or sharp with everything detail well controlled and captured as it should be. From an artistic standpoint, it's rather bland and uninviting to the viewer. Sometimes an image, even one as technically competant as this one is, is just an image. A worthy entry into the challenge and directly related to the challenge subject. A good effort falling short in the artistic sense.

Poor thing looks so lost and all alone there. Has a very sad feel to it.

The sky is to bright and the powerpoles on the rightside should have been croped out IMO. Nice shot.

Looks like its been there a while. Not sure what it is or is not about this one. I think maybe it's the composition. My eye gets led right past the subject without stopping. I find myself looking down the tracks instead of at the train.

I would have liked to seen this with a tighter crop, but find it so compelling it gets one of the few 10's I'm giving out this challenge.

I think your main subject is too dark and the composition is a bit flat because you put it in the middle of the photo.

Aww, poor little train car. It looks so sad all cuddled up against the brush.
