This is a very evokative image. It might have been a little stronger if the 
person was closer, or perhaps with a tighter crop/longer lens. The blurred 
greenery on the left is a distraction and could go, but I'm sure you would 
not want to lose the sweep of the rail tracks.

This is wonderful as well and I like the neutral balance in this image, even 
though I usually prefer the horizon (at least where I guess the horizon is ) 
to be away from the image centre. Thanks for the chance to see these.
