FIRST IMPRESSION: Good idea for the challenge, but the shot is way too dark in my opinion.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: There is a lot of wasted space in this shot in my opinion. This shot would have been better if you could have moved in or zoomed closer to your subject.
TECHNICAL: This shot is so dark that most of the detail is lost. A 1/2000 sec exposure is far too short at F/8 for this light.
CONCLUSION: An interesting theme. More experimentation with exposure times and aperture and excluding extraneous items may help strengthen your photography.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges! |

| good composition from what I can see, but far too dark to get the real details of the shot. |

| Photo is a dark overall, I maybe wouldn't have gone black and white on this. Maybe bump up the gamma. I like your silhoutte and composition. This pic definitely has potential. |

| I think it would have been a good entry. Two negatiives are the darkness and the leveling. |

| Nice subject however seems too dark. Iit looks like the sky was really nice that day, so maybe more sky and lass black foreground. |

| I like the tracks across the forground, but they are too dark. Perhaps you were trying to get definition in the sky - but the tracks are important to see well too - they give a feeling of direction, motion. |

| It's a bit on the dark side. Could have done with some more exposure here. With a bit more light, you could have done something interesting with the nice contrast between the tracks/ground/shadows and the car rooftops and the sky. |

| this is an incredibly dark image. perhaps your shutter speed was too short? or maybe the aperature too large (in number. not in actual opening). The clouds are puffy, which makes me believe it was a nice day out. |

| Looks like it could have been a good shot but way too dark for me. Maybe use of levels or curves to lighten it up some. |

| I feel this shot could have done with brightening - it seems very dim as it is here. On a more positive note, the use of b&w works well here. |

I'm guessing that evaluative metering was used here which makes the foreground and part of the trains very dark. There are two ways that would bring the train out more.
1. Take a reading (evaluative) with less sky in the picture, lock the exposure and recompose - all done with the shutter button pressed half way. Then push the shutter button the rest of the way.
2. (Easier) Use spot metering on the area of the picture you want to expose for, recompose and take the picture. |

| Quite dark, but the darkness doesn't really add enough mood to warrant it completely. Perhaps there's a fine line at which the darkness can be present, but we could also get a good sense that we can see the train well. I love how you've used lines here. |

| its very dark, maybe you should lighten it a little |

| Lightening up the brightness on this would have helped it considerably. |
