Is that a boundary line (chalk) in the foreground? This is a tough call. As it is I think the photo is underexposed substantially, especially the foreground. Probably has to do with metering and the sky you were working with. Then again, if it was exposed properly it would be quite a bit busier with the buildings and other distractions in the background. Hmmm. The driving force behind your decision was probably the cool looking clouds, yes? This makes another angle or POV hard to do. May have been better off exposing a little closer for the shadows and then using curves/levels to bring the sky back some. Maybe a Gradient ND filter? Like I said, a tough call. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Your shot looks a little too dark to me.

Pretty nice shot - the idea is really good but there is not enough contrast for my liking. I would have increased the contrast to bring out more of the foreground white stripe and also the clouds.

Angle you choose works well, and processing gives a nice feel. It would be nice to see a bit more of the train.
