 I took this at an old gas station. I raised the contrast on the pump,and lowered the sat. on the station. I also cropped it a bit.

For this picture to have wound up so low in the competition is a shame.

Wow, I'm impressed. Very simple and effective. The detail and clarity are good on the gas pump in the foreground, and the background is also interesting. Cropping the side off the gas pump is not what I would have done, but you took a risk and it looks good!

My only improvement would be to dodge the gas handle just a little to bring out some detail. Otherwise I like this a lot.

This is a unique entry. I'd have been tempted to go straight B/W with this as there isn't much color to begin with. Little vignetting (burn in the corners), and some detailed dodging on the 1 3 2 ($1.32) numbers would help show them better. Just a thought. :D Good luck in the challenge.
