Hello Siddharta,
This is a nice composition with a remarkable depth, provided by the people lined up along the platform and the rails stretched out towards the horizon, where they are lost in the mist.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Sid,
Nice daylife photo.
It is strange to see these people all tilted to the horizon waiting to see the train arriving. But everything is desperately flat.
Your centring is chosen well even if the line of the horizon tilts little to the left!
Nice atmosphere
