Critique Club review:
Howdy Jon,
I have to agree with some of the comments given to you. A child or children in the shot would have added a lot to the title you chose. I still believe the photo fits the title and challenge.
I love old trains and you have captured this one quite well. The train appears to be very dark and lighter parts of the train are hard to photo, do to over exposure. You handled this well. The bell, lights, name, number, etc...work well.
The only negative, I can see is the background, which would be hard to change. The ceiling, including air/heating structures are not modifying the train and is somewhat distracting the shot. I'm not sure if that could have been change by shooting at a different angle, but I always try to shoot as many angle as posible to avoid distraction from the subject.
I hope this makes sense. I like the shot and hope to see many more of you photographs.
