Got out yesterday for a moment with my 2 week old camera, took a few shots, this one I liked. Looking back I see I used Iso 400 instead of 200, do you think this would have made a difference in the photo? maybe given it more punch?
My general feelings are that while such exposures like these are good, they often don't quite convey the eye/mind (and possibly the emotional) experience of the moment. Well, not the kind of presentation I'd have in mind (something a little more compelling than the average out of camera results).
ISO 200 gives the best signal/noise response and detail per pixel, so that would be one's objective for the finer presentations. But ISO 400 here passes quite well. Yet here a little addition of Clarity or Local Area Contrast, and some nuanced sharpening, would enhance this conveyance for my eye. A good exposure is paramount, whether it could use some manipulation or not. This is that.

It is under exposed, probably by half a stop. Also it could use a little more saturation.
Nothing a litte PP couldn't fix.
Also, the composition is poor. The bush jutting into the frame on the left is not well positioned to act as a frame and the branches interfere with the leading lines of the RR track drawing the eye in from the lowe left corner of the frame. This is a very well known photo spot outside of Cleveland/Akron and has been photographed a thousand times. Look at some proffesional exaples for composition ideas. Try to match what they did and you might understand the compositonal issues better.

LOL! I guess you're right - those that can't. . . teach.
The exposure is fine, with enough shadows to make it something better. Better to under expose to retain highlights. Though in a perfect world you're right - the exceptions being what you commonly exhibit.
