I like it. One of the more difficult things to pull off on a deal like this is having the dark areas that face the same direction as the sun's rays come out properly exposed. In this case, that would be the cab area. The window outlines and difference in light reflection levels of the glass area and the painted area have definintion, and there are even items defined in the cab interior. The uniformity of the sunlight on the car sides lends continuity, and the antiquated feel of the signal bridge's crusty details contrasts with the modern feel of the trainset. Nice work!
Glint shots have a tendancy to screw with light meters, and even when pre-metering a scene, light levels change with the approaching train and often cast aside the best laid plans of mice and men. Let's see more work like this!
