Hello from the Critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge

What an admirable feat and enduring legacy of railway engineering! Your image has captured some lovely detail in this magnificent structure yet, it all somehow fails to convince in an obscure way. The landscape itself feels strangely barren with a patchy smudginess particularly around some of the clumps of trees as though there has been some post-processing applied in certain areas? Given the detail in the man-made structure against the natural though unconvincing background it somehow feels as though it has been transposed onto the scene, I̢۪m not saying that is the case but that is the effect. Also, magnificent a structure as it is, it just doesn̢۪t feel an ideal choice of subject for the square crop, I̢۪m sorry, but it all feels rather uncomfortable in a hard to define sort of way, it̢۪s just not working for me.

Sorry you didn't get any comments during the challenge, I hope this makes up for it. Thanks for your submission Marac
