It's really good isn't it?

Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Lack of motion from the train. It could be stationary just blowing out steam and smoke.
The other is not bad.

Methinks the woodland shot could do with a bit of cropping - too much dead space as it stands. Try removing the bottom 20% then a bit off the sides to balance it (sounds like what I say to the barber... ).
Can't comment on the train pic, it's not my sort of thing so best leave it to those who like locos.

My take on it would be to crop in somewhat using the basic rule of thirds. I moved the whole image slightly to the left (a) to put a bit more bulk into the right hand side to balance the thick woodland on the left and (b) to move the figure off the center line, making a more dramatic statement. I haven't done it but a bit of denoise and sharpening might help with overall clarity. No fancy software needed - just Faststone Image Viewer, which is free.

Both nice shots - good to see proper constructive criticism too, this is what helps us think about our images from the perspective of others!

I am a well known contrarian so I like both original pictures
The crops not so much
The train picture is fine but I find my eye dragged towards the building in the middle which is partially obscured by smoke.
What is it? and what's happening to it? if anything?
