On the edge of campus, there are some train tracks that run right through Colorado State. I brought my camera to class yesterday. Class was cancelled and right as I was leaving, I heard the train coming!

#1 is a bit dark, is that train running down a street? You might shoot from farther up the tracks to get the train in the street. Street running always looks neat and you don't see a lot of it anymore.

#2 seems to be cropped a bit tight. Give the locomotive a bit more room in front of it. Same goes for the rest of the train too, zoom out a little.

#3 Again, cropped a bit tight. Zoom out so we can see more of the train.

#4 I like the detail.

Just my .02

Happy shooting!
