Hi from the C Club,
I was one of your high scorer's on this shot, here are the reasons why.
I liked the overall shot, The different aspects of it came together for me, the blur of the train, the straightness of the poles and of course the great sculpture of the hand. It sort of meshed together.
Now in saying all of that, I would have liked to have seen some more motion blur on the train, a little more sharpness around the whole image or even just on the hand and the rest of it blurry. If you are going to go with such a high contrast to this shot, maybe turning it into a black and white would have worked better. Also, the main focal point is the hand, so that needs to be straightened out, that would give the rest of the shot a very interesting and different angle.
When you are in the midday sun, try lowering your exposures in camera, you will find that that will go a long way, you can also do this in Photoshop, try out the brightness and contrast as well. USM would have helped this shot a lot as well.
It was a good try on this and would love to see you reshoot it!
