Technical Aspects:
Composition: The locomotive is positioned slightly off-center, leading the viewer's eye through the image. The lines of the tracks and the horizon add to the sense of depth and perspective.
Lighting: The use of light and shadow is masterful, with the sunlight highlighting the details of the locomotive and the surrounding landscape. The dramatic sky adds a sense of drama and atmosphere.
