A unique angle on pumping gas. Layed the camera on the ground with a 10 mm lens. I'm sure the lady in front of me was a bit confused as to what I was up to.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise to get 4th! In my opinion the rest of the top 20 images are all better than mine, so I'm not sure it's deserving but I'll still accept 4th! :)

I really like this shot a lot, and I hope it makes it to the top three. The other entries are pretty much the same in my opinion in term of composition. However, this entry took a different composition. I just love hose of the pump in the car. The hose leads the viewers' eyes. There's so much going on here. The man pumping petrol, the hose, the car, the gas machine, the man is watching and the light above him. Great shot! 10!
:-) This is the photo I was going to take (honest, ask my teammates!). Ended up going a totally different direction. B/W works well with this. Good luck!
