 My very first entry on dpc was of this gas station for the "obsolete" challenge. I decided to shoot it again with a different pov. I'm not sure if I like it better though.

I like this because it appears to have a lot of contrast added in post processing, but after closer examination it just weathered contrast from time.

This picture has a lovely texture. The wire to the top of the pump is distracting though!

This pic falls flat to me, there's just not enough of a sense of distance between everything. A shallower dof aor a different angle may help?
