Not much you can do about the hand- it almost looks like he's waving the train to stop for him. I think it was good to leave the wires in- it turns the shot into a moment in time which works very well.
Great capture but I’m with you about the dude’s hand. The train looks very nice and so different from the trains over here. The view from the bar is fabulous.
Great shot. The hand looks as if it’s part of the shot, so not much of a distraction. I know he probably didn’t see you or realise, but I do find people are often oblivious to photographers!
