Comments by Steve Owen on Thu, 06/28/07 01:48 Great find and very nicely captured. Your treatment of this adds to the sense of nostalgia. Well done! Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Thu, 06/28/07 08:27 The toning works to give a vintage feel to the image while at the same there is a painterly feel to the composition. I watch the old movies on the Turner Channel and when you see people going in to buy gas, giving the attendant $5 and getting change on a fillup... this picture fits that time perfectly. Comments by Ruth Rittichier on Thu, 06/28/07 09:30 Wow, what a wonderful catch. I love these old gas pumps, etc. The toning and comp are well done. Comments by Rick Longworth on Thu, 06/28/07 09:34 Nostalgiac indeed. Where do you find these neet places?!

Comments by Maria Salvador on Thu, 06/28/07 16:39 Well done. Very interesting, and I like the toning.

Comments by DebbiK on Fri, 06/29/07 07:04 The color image gives it a whole different feel. I tiake it you added a bit of saturation? It almost looks like a painting because of the vivid color of the pump and the texure of the building. I loved the b&w when I saw it, also. Very nostalgic. You did a great job with the composition and toning. Comments by Ruth Rittichier on Fri, 06/29/07 11:50 I prefer the color version, because it separates the pump from its BG, and the Closed sign is accentuated by the pump's complimentary color. A little perspective correction would eliminate the leaning window on the right, and emphasize the pump.

Comments by J.I. Rogers on Fri, 06/29/07 16:04 I believe I prefer the color version. I think I tried that pump the other day - i pumped for the longest time - and nothing happened! Hmmmmm. Good photo. Comments by John Long on Sat, 06/30/07 10:24 Whilst I love the original sepia style picture which gives that sense of nostalga - I must say the colour version serves to separate the pump from the background building.
