See, I disagree with "the limit of resolution". The image may have worked best at this aspect ratio/crop. Maybe there wasn't anything of interest above or below what's presented. By using the full 800px in width nothing really was lost in the details.

I agree that the border doesn't help with the dark tones...although it may have worked with just a one pixel grey line between the image and the letterbox. ???

Lovely image BTW - I gave it a 7.

Probably too busy for DPC but I'm gussing this is awesome large. Nice range of tones and I do like the composition, busy or not.

Nice ripples in the water from the raindrops... lots to explore in this shot, but almost too much. A narrower focus on the textures and lines might be interesting (thought it wouldn't have fit the challenge as well). Nicely done!

I love old trains. I almost entered one myself, except I came up with something I liked better.

What an interesting landscape and wonderful B&W conversion! The rain drops put this over the top for me...

The image has great tones but they are overrun by the heavy border.

Oh, top right corner! How I wish you were lighter! Cropping an inch off might be your best solution.
