The large Oblisk (I can't spell) is what draws my attention, instead of the Gas station, which is dark and hidden in behind. i can barely make out the details of it, when it is meant to be the focus of the Challenge.
The processing is good, I like the B&W used here.

I feel the crop restricts this photo. A little more sky would have helped, and some extra space on both sides of the image, especially the right. The image feels top heavy, as there is a large, plain area in the front caused by the driveway. This needed to be balanced with the extra room.

I like the B&W processing. It suits this image and helps in the stroy......

I am not sure that cropping out part of the car is a good idea, as it gives an unfinished look to the image. The front on shot means the Pumps merge in with the Shop windows. This means the photo looks like a bunch of colour, with no place for the eyes to focus on. A different angle may have helped this

The Noise in this photo is going to hurt you with Voters. The Flare from all of the lights also have caused large, overexposed areas that detract. This may have been the intent, but it doesn't work for me.. The colour of the Duotone also doesn't appeal for me. A straight Black and White may have worked better.

Nice Expression. Would have been great with some lighting from abpve to just stop her hair from merging with the black backdrop. I like to contrast of Red on Black, which makes the rest of her stand out well from the background.
The light appears to be from directly in front (correct me if I am wrong). This causes the areas closest to the camera and directly in front (her Arms, the Carlsberg logo) to grab a little too much attention, rather than her face, which appears slightly darker. I would love my eyes to get drawn to the face more than the arms in this shot.

There are a number of the same type of image submitted. The harsh lighting in this really hurts the image.

I can't seem to find the point of focus of this image. I feel there is too much foreground and the trees are then cropped out

A lot of these photos in the challenge. The frontal lighting evident int he tape doesn't help. The Photo is just a bit plain to stand out from the crowd. I think the crop is very restrictive and hasn't helped the image either

I don't feel the colours on this are right, especially the keys. The crop, and the frontal angle of this doesn't really do much for me..........

Great submission for the challenge. At this time of year for you, this place is probably totally deserted in contrast to the summer months. Something different that works well
