Very well done! Excellent perspective (goes almost without saying) and I really like how the focus is so deep, and the lines lead you to the people in the distance. Nice tones, too.

I'm more curious about the name of the spirit than the picture itself. And that's saying something because I really like the picture.

I like this very much, the perspective, the muted colours and the lines.
Only negative would be the slightly too bright sky.

Nice one. The reflections on the train are great and extends the "horizon." The postprocessing gives it a nice vintage feel too.
