From the critique club.
This is a classic composition. A touch of foreground, good angles and the necessary negative space. It is the style used by postcards. Do not feel bad about this, we all take this kind of shot and we often question when is the best time to capture the image.
Yet your selected time has worked because the picture has an up quality with its pleasant sky and the pleasant reds in the building. The only thing I would have done different is that I would have shot this at f8 to increase the doa. The angle would have allowed a slower shutter speed. I would have cropped the red spec on the right because the eye keeps going back to determine whether it is a person or not. Yet, the picture stands as it is. You are certainly on the right track. Now go and shoot some more. dan
Good layers and colors with a nice dramatic sky. No distracting or cluttered background, which is good. Angle of the track is good and also some negative space for the train to move into. Looks good.
I like this shot. It meets the challenge well. The bush in the lower left is a wee bit distracting Otherwise very good The building in the background resembles the railroad station I was at in Cumberland Maryland.
