I tend to agree with Neil on this. There is no obvious direct focus for the viewer. In fact, there are no visible train tracks, but rather the bridge that is holding the train tracks. The best thing about train tracks are the inherent leading lines that pull the viewer into the scene. In this shot, we are looking across a bridge into an area without much interest.

I gave this a 5 and now feel that I was generous.
The problem is that there is no real focal point, its not a view and its not a picture of a bridge.
It also gives the effect of being wonky.
I think a better picture could have been to focus on maybe the rusty area and/or the wood (patterns and textures )
Hope you get me and I have not been too harsh.
