Default R class train


Hey all, this is a picture of a R 761, I took this photo on the 13/6/09. It was the 125th anniversary of the maldon train station hence the vintage train(I think). I currently only have an olympus fe-310 but it's alright. What sort of things could I improve on? The pic isn't too bad it just needs a bit of touching up, any thoughts? Cheers Brodie

I think it's a nice shot of a ventage train. Very cool! I'd just like to see a little more color in the sky to improve it.

Looks like a good candidate for a sepia or b&w conversion. Hard to believe at f3.3 it didn't blur the cars in the background. They are a bit distracting.
