Had you walked up the tracks about 100 yards you could probably make most of the clutter go away. Also, the discoloring on the bottom of the picture (the road?) is distracting.

Great composition on this one, I love the lighting and shadows. Could use a little sharpening.

In most cases it is beneficial to have the object in the forground (tall grass) in focus, however, your background object (silo) has more presence in this image and having it out of focus is very distracting. A slightly different viewpoint to include less of the tall grass I belief would also make this photo better. Nice eye for the sky even if it is obscured by the silo.

Unfortunately out of focus. That's a great location. A tripod would have allowed you to produce a sharp image.

Like the B & W. The electric poles are distracting.

The compositional elements of this shot are really quite interesting - so it's perhaps interesting to think about why it doesn't work, at least for me, which it certainly doesn't. Your sky here is pretty flat and monotonous, which perhaps doesn't help - though one would think that just pushed the interest to the bridge and railway. The actual organisation of elements across the frame is a touch weak - the vanishing point of the railway, and indeed the tracks themselves are relegated to a very small corner of the image, making them lose some impact. There's a lack of detail here too - that fine resolution that would show the textures of the bridge, and the vegetation beside the tracks. A scene that has great potential, I think - but in the end let down by composition (the placement of the rails relative to the bridge) and very simply poor overly-general light. Nothing I think you could have done about the weather I know, but nevertheless that is what lets it down.

I like your choice of b/w in this image. Nice shot.
