I am not that person; I do not rate as a general rule. I would not have given this a 3/3; however, the viewpoint is uninteresting and the light on the mountains is pretty flat. There is little contrast between the mountains and the grainy and rather uninteresting sky. The eye is not drawn into the image, and the track is not emphasized.

If you put a photo up for rating on this site, unless it is a very hot nude, you will get some bad ratings. Many people disable ratings for this reason. I have seen photos get (deserved) 7/7s and a few 3/4s to go with them.

Your comments are much appreciated although I will say I thought the curve and perspective of the rail/river served quite well to draw in the eye
