Interesting commentary piece, nice lines and subtle color. 7

This doesn't speak to me at all, it's just kind of drab and lonely, nothing pops for me.
Post actions
Good shot. A bit more color would be nice.
Post actions
No gas today, no reason left to stay. Nice desolate feel to this shot.
Post actions
Definitely looks like a desolate, abandoned place.
Post actions
well composed study on cultural evolution.
Post actions
Finally! Interesting use of shadow to emphasize the abandonment.
Post actions
Interesting capture of a seemingly abandoned space. I like how the colors kind of add to the bleakness.
Post actions
the desaturation (?) works here, or is that the actual color?
Post actions
Image feels very flat. The muted tones work well with the image but subject feels a bit unbalanced in the frame.
Post actions
Good saturation. It might have worked in black and white, but it certainly didn't need bold colors. The little bit of color you retained is perfect. I like the geometry and framing also.
Post actions
Must be an outtake from the gas stations challenge. A good photo to show the decay and ruin.
Post actions
This is a nice sharp photo but I would have scored it higher had it been cropped and/or composed differently
Post actions
Great PP job - love the tone - keeep up the good work and good luck in this challenge
Post actions
toning is nice but a bit unintersting for me :D
Post actions
Beautiful light on this old gas station and nice processing
Post actions
clear and crisp , well presented. 6

Like your border with this!
Post actions
Interesting feel of desolation and emptiness.

Outtake from gas station? Nice shot. Since you're cutting off the overhang a little already, you might want to try cropping it in from the left some more. I realize that you'd lose the "fina" on the overhang, but the left 1/5 of the picture doesn't have much interest, and the tall pole and the sweeping upward wire at the top are a little distracting. Try cropping it in from left to right before the black rectangular sign--I think it will concentrate the focus a little more and get rid of some distractions.

Feels very desolate and abandoned.

Love that tiny 'Trust Jesus' graffiti in there. There's something so interesting about a closed gas station.

Cool - looks like it came out of a movie. Nice effect with the colors/tones. 6
Post actions
All the horizontal shapes are great; one one level it's a near abstract of bold blocks, some kind of secret order out of desolation. 7.
Post actions
you captured the deserted feeling well. the border is too strong in my opinion.
Post actions
I like the slight desat look. The frame adds drama it wouldn't otherwise have, I think.

Interesting capture, it talks a million.
Post actions
I like these old abandoned gas stations. Very nice.
Post actions
Good shot. My wife thinks I should be like this!
Post actions
I like the pp work to add to the abandoned feel
Post actions
Good use of borders to draw the subject out.
Post actions
This is so desolate. Nice mood. Not sure about the border. It's so similar to the canopy. Like the muted tones.
Post actions
The desaturated colours really enhance the depressed feel:)
Post actions
Wonderful photo! I wish it was a part of 'gas station' challenge to!
Post actions
Post actions
seems a bit dark...do you think that the framing adds to the dark feel? curves/levels??
Post actions
crop is a little too tight in my opinion, and the desaturation of colors makes this look drab... but not in a good way.
Post actions
Sense of desolation is captured here very well.
Post actions
Sorry I dont like this. Wires and distractions and bad colors to me. In the gas station challenge for basic editing it would be nice but for this challenge I just dont think it works.
Post actions
i like this elongated as a subject so - so
Post actions
Frame is lacking something overall - color seems a bit dull.
