Carolyn,

If you have photo shop scan the image, duplicate it and crop the duplicate. Then set both side by side to evaluate the composition. The cropped version will bring the train more into the foreground. If you don't have photoshop you can always take a piece of back paper with a square cut out and place it over your monitor image to get a feel what it would look like.

I like this image, the play of the different textures and the way you have handled him. Personally, I do not care for the suit jacket, since I find it too formal for a hobbyist.

I also would check his hand, which holds the train, again-it seem a tad too wide.
