Great idea. Maybe a little sharper would make this
work even better.

The image and location were well selected but the images is a little soft of focus for my taste.

An interesting shot and a neat looking train. The sky is a little blown out at the right hand side of the frame. It might have been lessened if you changed your position by moving up the track a bit more and getting a shot of the front of the loco, but also including the side of the cars on left going into the distance. Don't know if I explained that correctly, but good work just the same.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

First off, as far as images go, this is well taken. The subject is sharp, it is composed well, the background has some interest. I think, with just a touch more processing, this image would pop. Right now it almost looks like an untouched RAW file. If the image were mine, I would do a curves adjustment, a slight saturation boost, and then a levels adjustment (I posted a quick edit here: //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=416826).

As far as images go, as I said before, this is well taken. However, for me at least, it holds very little interest. This is more of a documentary shot - showing me something that exists. It doesn't evoke emotion so it holds my interest for a short time. That is not bad in photography; documentary photography is required (I shoot for a paper so I do it all the time). But, The shots that people like to look at tell a story at the same time. The action here, in the basket, is to small to discern. And since all I see is the balloon, I have no context. So you are caught - not close enough to give me some action and not far enough away to give me context. I need one or the other to connect with the image.

I hope that this critique answers some questions you may have. If not, feel free to PM me and I will better explain any questions you have.

Looks like a tough exposure - underexposure to control the highlights and then some playing around with levels to restore contrast might help the colors/lighting. Otherwise pretty good.

I like the angle of view but other than "this is a train" I'm not sure what the image says.
