Comment by Teafran:
From an artistic standpoint, this is an image that suffers from too much background - it would have been a better choice to crop the top out of the image to concentrate on the subject. This can be illustrated by moving the browser side slider control so that the image is topped just at the first line on the background door. An excellant conversion technically, it captured the nature of a candid moment perfectly and was a good demonstration of how a photographer has to be ready to capture the moment. A worthy entry into the challene, it's technical excellance is affected by it's slightly off artistic construction.

Very nice pix, just tighter cropping to eliminate the overhead and leftside clutter.That would also bring out the facial expression.

I like the tight crop -- its a bit different for this challenge, and worked well, particularly with the shallow DOF you used. My only nit is the headlamp cut down the middle. Shows a nice bit of detail of your train, and colors and sharpness are spot on.
