 Composition : Strong diagonal lines everywhere.  I like the composition a lot. I'm not sure how I feel about the bit of sidewalk in the lower right corner though.  Have you tried a crop that loses some of that?  It may or may not be an improvement.
 
 Exposure / Lighting : Lighting doesn't seem to be an issue (for me) here.  The white pillars are certainly not overexposed and the darkest areas (under the train) are not overly underexposed.  I agree that the contrast of the bridge to the train is wonderful.  Maybe just a tad more saturation of the yellow channel would have brought that out even more dramatically?
 
 Focus : I see from your comment that you already see what I am inclined to point out, but since you asked for a critique, I'll say it anyway.  To show the movement of the train, you would have needed a slower shutter speed then 1/320.  I don't know if you had a tripod, but you may have wanted to step it to about 1/30 or possibly even slower.  I think this one change would have pushed this photo up a full point to around 5.5 or so.
 
 Challenge / Wow : Challenge is certainly met. I think the slower shutter would have added a lot more Wow.

		| | My aim was to show movement in the train but at the same time show some of the train itself. Unfortunately the result is somewhat of a mixed bag. The train travelled at around 120 km/h so I think I should have used a longer exposure time and to counter overexposure perhaps ISO50 setting. What I like about the photo is the contrast between the white bridge and the colorful train. Next time better luck I guess :).

		| | It`s a shame your camera focused on the railings instead of the train. |
