Very nice train exposure. Soldier seems to be standing at attention, even. Great capture.

well spotted JAS and an interesting way to frame a subject - very cool!

Thanks guys! I had the 70-300 on the camera so the shutter speed was quite fast. I wish I could have slowed that down or thought to slow it down to catch more train movement but actually I was not sure I could even get that shot at all.
I agree with your instinct and thinking Jas; that said you still managed to create a strong image!

A painter takes their vision and makes it a reality. A photographer takes reality and makes it their vision.
Definitely out of the box thinking here. Cool how the 'waiting' theme gets highlighted on both sides under the carriage.
