Nicely modelled engine, and a nice subject choice! (although not 
terribly original in its display).  The major room for improvement
is in the grass and gravel , which unfortunately distract a bit
from the better-rendered components of the scene.

Lovely train. The gravel rail-bed looks like brown wavy water.

Great picture!  The Rocket is very beautifully modelled and detailed.  It's the
attention to detail of doing things like varying the texture of each plank of
the barrel that really make the difference between a "good" image and a
"GREAT!" one.  Your solution for the creation of the gravel roadbed was good,
though I think it was a little less successful for the grassy embankment.  I
think one minor problem with the image is the white shadowless light makes the
lighting seem to "fake", as it washing out areas without providing the
contrasting shadows necessary for realism. Either a shadowless gray light (a
gray30 or thereabouts) or a dimmer light that did cast minor shadows would
possibly have been better.  Overall: good effort, great image.

A very nice model indeed. However, I think you should pay more attention to
textures and colors.
Those of yours are not too realistic (IMHO).

Delightful image.  Excellent background, very good application of the trees,
and good sky.  The weakest part of the background is the grass, and even that
is pretty good.  I could have wished for more detail on the model, but I'm not
sure if that is really warranted.  I certainly can't fault it for lack of
detail as it is.  Great colors and textures on every part.

Excellent details, especially the barrel.
Nice composition and point of view.

Very nice one.

Excellent modelling on the locomotive; and nice, richly detailed background.

I particularly like the hf grass and rocks.  They are not precisely "realistic",
but they work well.  The barrel is very nice and the modelling overall is good,
but some of the engine textures need detail tweaking.
