Looks sort of like a painting on my screen. Pretty cool though.

I think you pushed the shadows under the bridge way too far, but other than that it's nice.

It's ok. I think a blending of two photos with the exposure slider set to over/under would be a better photo. The HDR crap isn't doing it for me in this photo. If you have shot in RAW, try using the underexposed for the sky and the overexposed for the tracks and bridge and such. You can equalize through layers.

This is a well known and used location for photos, but i do like the train in it. Composition is good.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I was going for the high contrast, heavy process look. This was just one shot worked in Photoshop, much more processing than I usually do,

Here is where I started:
