This was taken with a tripod before sun up this morning. Someone is restoring the gas station to an early 20th century look. I like the mannequin in the window. It was difficult to not blow out the lights on the pumps.

Where is this place? Looks like I've seen this same station 3 or 4 times now. I like the time of day that you took this. Works well with the lights. Kind of with you'd taken a bit off the bottom on this. BTW - what's "Free"? Kittens or something? :-) Good luck in the challenge.
I like this. A great image of times gone past. Maybe a little dark. Would have been hard to lighten much, but a ittle would make the Shell on top of the building stand out a little more, while avoiding blowing out the lights too badly. Shame it wasn;t Advanced Editing then you could have achieved it easily.
Composition is great. One of the best images.
