So long as it's "In the landscape", no problem.  My original aim was always that the photo should be obviously rural, urban, suburban, industrial or whatever and that the DMU should be seen within that landscape (so never too large a proportion of the frame).

I like your shot because it just feels damp and misty, B&W really helps here.

A few photos just taken at Bodmin parkway

On 8th August 2020 first of the class for TransPennine Express, 185101 approaching Heaton Lodge East Junction. The 185 was working 2J67, 14.51 Huddersfield to Leeds local service.

 

Followed a short time later by Northern 195001+195018 working 5U55, 12.30 Barrow Carriage Sidings to Doncaster West Yard.

 

 

Always interesting to compare the current view at this location with the outstanding modelling of Heaton Lodge Junction currently underway on the following thread, for anyone not already following its development.

That's much more what I originally had in mind Phil, I really like the first one of 1A81.  The foreground tree sets the scene and divides the image into thirds.

 

My mantra is always: If you can read the number, you're too close!

There's the simple rule for these "in the landscape" threads.

Having just spent a week near Shaldon I have a load of images to go through, so here's one for starters, a pair of 150s, one blue and one green....

With the right lens though, you can get the landscape shot and then zoom to get an identifiable shot or two, like these....
