I think it's a nice shot, especially with the muted color tones.

I think it might be more interesting compositionally if there weren't quite so much foreground, as a result of that you could see more of the wheel(forgive me if this is not the correct term) on the train.

Nice image. I don't usually care for selective coloring, but in this case it really draws my attention to the image. Perhaps it's because you did a nice job adjusting the red to a subtle shade. Very well done!!;)

Yea, I like it. As the above posters have mentioned. The muted tones are the key to this one. Great.

I like it very much as the lines lead you into the view and the larger wheel draws your eye around the image and then follow the line out again.

Very direct, simple and wonderful! We know its a steam locomotive, but the elements are so simple that we are not overwhelmed with a cluttering of mechanical objects.

Excellent job!!
