 This photo is of an old gas pump located at the Filling Station in Davenport, IA. I shot this photo while it was raining so it adds a misty feeling to the whole photo.

PostLuminous Award Nominee!
WONDERFUL!! Dark, lower key choice here works well (not every image on the face of the earth needs to be BRIGHT). The rich but dark red works well with the dark textures, and there is a sense of solid reality. The angled composition sets up the lines well. Nice!!

Nice sharp image. Might've benefited by some brighter light.

I like this, though a touch brighter would have come off a little better for me.

Seems a little dark and lacking in contrast. Could be this monitor...I'll check back later on one that's calibrated.

Unusual angle on an old object. I like the darkness. It looks like there were many layers of paint over the years.
