Hello from the Critique Club!
I have studied your image and have the following to offer:
Composition/perspective - There is so much to see in this image and yet it is not too busy. The position of the tracks coming out of the right in the middle is a very nice element - gives the viewer even more of a sense of position in the image and helps to make you feel you - the viewer - is actually looking out the window. The rain/water is excellent! Really adds a sense of mood. The crop could be a little different - the left has just a bit too much space. A little more attention to the timing would have made it even stronger as I find the lights from the cars on the right a bit of a distraction.
Color - this has a very rich palette of colors that have been rendered quite well. Even through the window and the rain they are not muted at all. The two areas of contrast adds a nice aspect that draws you through the shot - the green of the grass against the tan of the gravel (?) as well as the red and yellow of the building in the back of the shot. Well done!
Lighting - appears to be all natural which is perfect for this shot. No flares or annoying glares on the glass. Bright enough to let everything stand out without any dark or heavy shadows.
Challenge requirements - no doubt this meets the challenge requirements. Your choice of locations and use of the rain as a supporting element demonstrates a very creative mind at work.
Overall/my opinion - I really relate to this shot in so many ways. Around here there are a lot of empty/disused little train stations I have tried to get interesting shots of. So far none. The mood here is very well portrayed - empty, yet not abandoned; quiet yet not sad. As stated above I think the only weak spot is the crop. Other than that, very well done! |

| a blur of a traing going through the station would have been awesome. |

| This pic doesn't do a ton for me. I don't think it's terrible, but it also doesn't inspire much feeling. What are the lights on the right? I thought the train didn't stop here. ;) |

| I like the effect on the glass, but feel that the section to the left of the frame is a little unnecessary, perhaps it could be cropped off. |

| I like the rich colors - makes me feel like I'm actually standing there looking out the window. |
