 There's a lot of train stuff just sitting around near a train/road intersection here in Manistee. I took my dog for a walk and snapped some shots.

I like the darkness of the photo, I'm thinking that you could have taken a few steps forward to get a tighter shot or maybe crop the bottom and the left side of the photo. JMO!

From a artistic standpoint, this is a terrific effort. From a technical standpoint, it's rather bland and uninviting to the viewer as it seems to be slightly defocused and overly dark - a lighter treatment would have helped or even a grayscale conversion. Sometimes an image, even one as artistically competant as this one is, is just an image. A good effort falling short in the technical sense.
