What a shame you didnt catch the front or the rear of the train...had you done that your score would have jumped much higher. a 6

I dont understand how you have reasonably sharp train cars yet the stars have slight trail to them. Curious??

Great shot. A bit too much motion in the stars, but Cassiopeia is easily recognizable.

Beautiful shot, but to me, the title says "cram this in somehow because I like this shot." What's mysterious about the train? In a free study or a challenge about the sky, I'd give this a 6 or 7, but here, it's a 4.

Trains are sorta mysterious, aren't they? I like the predominant sky, but maybe it's a little too much. would the landscape handle a bit of a lower crop? Bringing out the train a bit more in PP could have been nice too. 5

The stars show up nicely, I probably wouldn't even notice the train but for the title.

Somewhat Chris Van Allsburg - as in Polar Bear Express, a children's book. Lovely subtle tones and colours. 8.

I am sorry but I can't see anything in the dark bits of this photo? Really makes it hard to judge. :(

Look at that beautiful sky! That in itself is magical! I love the train. Nice touch! This is definitely magical to me! 9
