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.

I enjoyed this photo. DOF seems a little too shallow as the front end looks a little fuzzy (on my monitor anyway).

Eureka! I had fun with this shot... Back in my day "Quest" was a deodorant powder... I suppose now I'll have to stop using my tincture of merthiolate... didn't know it was obsolete. hehe.

I liked this photo quite a bit. It looks like it was over sharpened, though. Still, nice proportions.

Thanks for the comments. I knew the sunset would be a distraction for some voters while appreciated by others. Sometimes you do what you want to do no matter what the outcome. All comments are appreciated. Thanks.

Wonderfully subtle colors for so dark an image.
