I like you use of a moving background (train?) to contrast with the detail on the lights.

Beautiful colors! The wide, beigey vertical line (where the cars are joined, I'm guessing) detracts a little in my mind, but that's probably just picky of me to say. The way the traffic lights and post stand out is outstanding.

blurred background is a nice touch. i also like the bold primaries.

Kind of like this. I can see your choice in cincludding the shadow, but I think you've pushed the structure of the lights and their pole too far out of frame in order to include it, and cropped some of the other fittings on the pole - not suggesting that you include every light on the stand, but I think moving the pole into a stronger plane in the image would make it feel less releated - and the colour, the rust, the texture there, set against the moving train, would be rather fine, i think.

I like this for the literal rendition of the topic, the ghost-shadow of the light standards on the train, the frenetic machine sense of it.

Very cool. Great use of negative space, motion blur and tack-sharp focus all in one.
