I want to get some feedback on this shot. I was experimenting with reflections in the windsheild on a moving train at night and the various ways lighting the reflected parts.

Really interesting concept. I have two small observations:
I like the little things (bright dots and grid-form) in the lower right and I like the repeat/reversed reflection of the person in the upper left corner - better than I like the main frontal person. Can you reduce the intensity of that larger/central person to allow the two smaller parts to come forward in interest?

I would crop a little off the top and a little off of the right side to play on the diagonal and because there isn't much going on there.

HOLY CRAP THAT IMAGE SCARES ME!

Lonely night-time train crossing and the image of an 18-wheeler trucker's ghost appearing over the train as it passes! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

That said, I like it for that very reason.
