Title: Rolling Coils, by Doorskidder
Composition: You have taken this picture from a unique vantage point. I am not sure that it was the best for a well-composed picture, as it is hard to tell that the train cars themselves are your main subject. The coils of wire seem to come on the strongest to me.
Technical: Your focus and exposure are very good and you have made good use of available light.
Challenge: With the train cars being the subdued subject meeting the challenge was a little weak in my opinion.
Suggestions: I give you due credit for going out and finding something different and interesting for your entry. I do however suggest that you work with making it even more interesting by tying in the main subject with some other part of the picture to exemplify it. Low angle shots of train tracks and the cars wheels always seem to draw the viewer in for a longer look. I know that my suggestion is somewhat traditional and their is nothing wrong with using your own interpretation and expression, but you will probably find it takes a lot of experimenting to find a new view of an old subject that really stirs the viewer. Keep shooting and good luck in the future.
