I like the RED part of the train yet i don't like the orange shirt not complimenting it but good photo.

Nice colors! I think I would have liked it more if the guy wasnt look at the camera though.

Good idea. I find it a bit cluttered though.

The background is a little too busy for me. Would have been better with a shallower Depth of field. Would have preferred the train funnel to have not been cropped out.

The red appears a little over saturated, and the light pole distracts a bit. Otherwise nice pic.

There seem to be a lot of simple shots identical to this one. I am happy to see the model's face in this shot, looking like he is straining to move the train. This challenge would have been much cooler in the advanced editing, or the expert editing even. Then you could have really made this stand out, using some high contrast, grunge editing, and even made the foot appear to be sinking in the ground. Oh well. Still a decent shot.

Its a tad overexposed.

nice colour balance, pity the light on the locomotive suffered the loss.

I'd like this more if he wasn't looking at the camera, nice bold colours though.

Yeah, he's not gonna move that...

Nice idea. The background seems a little busy but I like the black train and red cow catcher.

Nice color. Train looks interesting, too bad it is cut off.

Not bad, maybe show a bit more of the locomotive?

This is exactly the type of shot I expect from a challenge like this, although another angle might prove beneficial to eliminate a busy background. Although I realize that is sometime nearly impossible for a shot like this. Great shot

Good colours, but why is John bad?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good idea, but I think your subject should have been looking at what he is pushing rather than looking at the camera.

This is a good composition, could have been better with the contrast and the camera angle etc.
