Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is an interesting shot but I don't really find anything unusual about the viewpoint. You are looking from balcony of your apartment or a friend's place I assume, a place that someone could go to anytime to watch the trains. Now, if you were on the track behind the train or on the overpass over the tracks, that would be a little more unique.

The sky seems a bit dull overall, like mentioned in the comments, a polorizer or some after processing, to make it a bit richer and add some color.

I tried some different cropping from other sides but there is nothing that really jumps out at me. The shot comes off more as a snapshot type candid shot. I had given it a 5 during the challenge because of the above comments. It just came across as average and not much to save or work with for this challenge.

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

You will lose points because the view is no unusal enough.
