Response to Steam Train Engineer

I think the bar give a nice feel that I'm looking into a confined space. Even if removing it didn't make the composition too tall and thin, you would lose some of the mood.

For me though, the photo lacks a sense of dynamism. It's partly his casual, dum-de-dum expression, but also the relaxed posture of his body. I'm not saying you should try to turn this into Triumf des Willens, but it needs some sort of edge if it's to keep my attention.
