FIRST IMPRESSION: Good abstract, lighting makes this shot difficult.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: Composition within the flarme is good; however, I personally feel that the choice of a wheel that is right at a switching point (and thus the inclusion of the wheel guards and the track for the other direction) adds conflicting lines to the shot.

TECHNICAL: Exposure on the wheel is excellent, ground and track however are a bit washed out. Shooting shooting in different light may improve this a bit. Also, as there is very little color in this image I wonder if you tried converting to black and white. This would help emphasize form over color, which could benefit your shot.

CONCLUSION: A good idea but I feel the execution is not quite there. If you have an opportunity, spending some time reshooting this may be a worthwhile learning experience.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

Great idea, it just looks a bit fried (over exposed).

I like your title. Not sure what I'm looking at here, (an old train wheel on tracks I think) I like your detail but the shadow makes things hard to decipher.
