The lights on the train look great, but I wish the lights on the latform were a little brighter to help give the train lights some context.

From a technical standpoint, this is an average effort being overly dark. From an artistic standpoint, it's rather bland and uninviting to the viewer. Sometimes an image is just an image - a little more thought into composing this and using good lighting techniques such as a long flash or maybe even bouncing a flash to help the mood would have been a better choice. A longer exposure time might have been a plus. A good effort falling short in the artistic sense.

I know it's a shot of a train at night, but the shot either needs more train or a slower shutter speed. JMO!

To dark for me. I know you were going for darkness and lights but I think being able to see more of the station would work better for me.
