Nice silhouette -- this is a type of image that I've never really done before but am looking forward to it. It clearly tells a story (boy looking at train) without clearly showing the boy or train. Good sharpness, good contrast. Good selective focus on the boy (it would lose the dreamy quality if the train was sharp, I think). After all, the subject of the photo is the boy.

Definitely like the desaturation in this one. I'm not sure it'd work in color.

Composition is good, although I'd like to see a tighter crop to make the image a bit more 'intimate'. Really draw the viewer in to the boy. You could crop out the white space above the train easily, you might even be able to crop out the top half of the train and still keep the idea (probably not though, now that I think about it). A lower vantage point might help, if you could take it again, to get tight with the boy yet clearly show the train.

That's about it -- a nice image.

Oh, one other thought -- would it be cool if you could get some motion blur on the train? Good luck getting the kid to sit still though :)

Thanks, He is actually on a train watching the other train go by.

Nice sillhouette but the title seems funky. Is he on the train or watching it? You have really nice b/w
