So dark.

This is a great idea and is VERY close to being a 10.

I think maybe a tigher crop, eliminating the back half of the car. I also don't like the way the car's headlight is totally blown out... there's some JPEG artifacting or other post processing problem there... maybe the whole shot is a smidge oversharpened? (you can see it in the rails in front of the train too). But I'll still give you a 9 for the idea and being in the right place at the right time. :)

a longer exposure would have better lit the environment i think, though the train would be a bit of a blur. without adequate street or artificial lighting, it is damn nigh impossible to get a well illuminated shot. as it is, this shot suffers in that there is no real focal point immediately for attention, though taking it as one composite whole isn't easy either. the light haze from the train is really cool, and the capture of the lights is great in that it is lit up by the train. actually, this owuld be a whole lot better on the eye if the car wasn't in the shot. 3.

Nice atmosphere created here with excellent timing.

Real mystery photo...need a bit closer look to understand whats going on. I like your idea is original and minimal lights make it interesting. Only remark that its bit tight cropped at the back of the car.

My favorite shot of the lot...it reminds me of an illustration depicting the viewing of Haley's comet in a children's astronomy book...without further explantion....a full and rare 10!

Whoa...to me, it would have been perfect if you just had the train in the photo.

imo a day shot would have been better.

Back light draws my eye from the rest of photo. I like the idea - nice lighting.
