 I wish I could get rid of the building between the two gas pumps, but in basic editing what can you do?

This gas station is in my hometown- Issaquah, Washington. It has been preserved as part of Historical Issaquah. Photographers love to shoot down there!

What a coincidence! We arranged the same composition--except our two gas stations are about 1,100 miles apart. Here is mine (in Los Angeles):

Interesting shot, perhaps better with the background out of focus

Funny how this site is caught several times...the shot works...could you have dropped down just a bit more to get that building out of the shot? tones are good...a little flat although

May I call this bleak. I think it would be much better had it more colour or was darker. The white pumps look like ghosts. Still a lovely composition.
