Love the railyard. All those lines... just gives the viewer so much to take in. Like arteries branching out, carrying the lifeblood of the city. Perfect subject matter for bw, and the uniformly grey sky is perfect. It would almost feel amiss if it were detailed with clouds.

The flowers are pretty cool on this, and I really like their presence. Things seem really cropped though, which makes me wonder since you could zoom up to 135 if it just wasn't possible to get closer. Getting a bit elevated would've been cool for this, perhaps by standing on your car, or alternately, getting up into the flowers themselves and use the depth of field to accentuate the distance. But I think elevating, then using a portrait format, slightly aimed down and combined with a hyperfocal distance would be splendid for this one.

The train really makes this shot, IMO. It creates a dramatic sense of scale, which is only compounded by the string of generators in the background. The centered composition works well, since it is complimented by the train and other generators, but I'm left wanting to see the intersection of the furrows with the train. Perhaps you didn't include it because the train ends there, but leaving it could have drawn the viewer through the scene a bit more strongly. It's implied as is, though, so it still functions, but it seems a bit incidental like this. I'm a big sucker for wind generators; love 'em.

I agree with dahlin without the city in the background this shot woulnd't be half as interesting.

I love them when they become anthropomorphic and get expressions!
It's a sort of modern Swan Lake.
