Very throne-like perspective. I could see this in a Disney animation movie.

Took me awhile to find the circles. This might have been more effective if the right side of the picture had been cropped so the rod would be emphasized. Nice sunset, though. (I've done the same thing and got criticized and praised for it at the same time. Go figure).

Crop Circles...and a pyramid. Interesting juxtaposition. ...and a nice shot.

Light at the End of the Tunnel

This looks vaguely like the promo of an old James Bond film. Perhaps a bit fuzzy at the man, but still a nice shot.

Made in America

Comment:
Nice use of symbols to carry out your concept of "obsolete". Photo looks a bit out of focus on the machine. Given the symbolism of Singer I am not sure that adds to the shot. Overall, though, I gave you high marks.

Self Serve

I imagined the setting sun as an apt metaphor for the end of this motoring era. Same with the tree stump (I bet the tree was still standing when this pump was active). Lots of nostalgia in this shot. Terrific composition. A little bit of Norman Rockwell in this one, I think. This photo not only captures the obsolete pump, but an entire obsolete time. Nicely done.
