In my imagimation, it would be better if there were some fog and one or two passengers walking or standing on left side. But there is some different mood that no people is shown.

Originally posted by jmsetzler: The rear of the train seems to be the focus point of the image, and it is falling dead center in the frame. I'm also struggling with the lighting, and it may be that a selective desaturation was used in this image, but I'm not sure. The yellow cast behind the train just looks and feels strange to me when there is no other light with that tone in the scene.

Thanks for the critique!

For composition, I had the same concern as you. So I tried to crop
the left side. However, it looked boring without the left train and the ground, so I kept the left side finally.

I changed the color by using selective color to make it looks more "industrial". And the yellow cast front the train(this is the front of the train) was red before adjusting. My wife suggested me changing it to other color, and I found it looked more mysterious in yellow. There are at least three different color lights from different direction. The lighting was indeed strange(and mysterious to me) so that I wanted to take photos in this station.^^

Here is the original:

Thanks for the critique again, you remind me that I should pay more attention on composition and lighting.

It should be white. I guess it turned into black when I adjusted the Hue/Saturation or selective color.
