Congrats on such a high posting as well. I was bummed that, being a big railfan, I missed voting on this challenge. But after seeing that your photo didn't make number one I don't feel so bad - there's a big difference between a great train picture, which yours is, and a great photograph - which I wonder if I could have judged as impartially as I had thought. Train wise, this photo should have been first place.
I'll disagree with you on your crop comment though. If anything, I would have taken more off the top and bottom - leave the sides alone. The bridge & yard are your focus, you didn't need the entire smokestack. And the sharpness of the car front/bottom of the image almost takes away from the mistiness/timeless quality you have in the center. A shorter image of the same width would also emphasize the wideness of both the yard and the bridge. Maybe just bring the bottom up to right before the tank car on the left, so the yard ladder is still in the picture. black border also works well to keep the misty sky from fading into the white dp background...
Most excellent photo. Had it been a sunny day you would have lost a lot. Definitely look forward to seeing more!

| This is good...I like the tones (duotone?) in this image, the foggy feeling and the photographic reality of this composition. |

| The foreground train is almost dead center. I could have cropped to the right of that train. |

| Great shot of a railyard. Captures the essence of what they are - not a pretty sight, but busy, hectic, and dirty. I hope you do well with this. Good luck. |

| I gave you an 8 but on the second pass you get a 9 from me. Looks like a poster! Blow it up (in a non-exploding way) and stick it on your wall. |
