The perspective in this picture is the fact that this is an old train on display that will never get under any steam. The visible steam is from a pipe behind the loc. Therefore I had very little choice in where to place myself, there was only one line of sight where this phenomenon was to be observed. I left in a piece to the left of the end of the track (without the usual bumper) to give the viewer a clue. There are also very visible flood lights in the grass that might have given a hint.
OK, my mistake.

I guess the perspective here is the cars vs. the train? Interesting idea. I think the photo is too busy though. A tighter crop might have helped, or taking it from a different angle so it isn't so flat.

Very sharp photo. Color seems good, but maybe just a tad diminished (probably due to the cloudy day). The background seems cluttered and largely unnecessary. (On the far left bottom, am I seeing the far rail ending? Like the train doesn't have far to travel?) 6 Swash

This is an interesting old train :) I hope you shot a lot of photos here... as for perspective, this particular image is a little 'flat' and doesn't seem to contain any features where the 'perspective' creates impact... - setzler

the background is distracting, the end of the track, and it looks like a snapshot of and old engine on display.
