| If this were the price actually listed on the pump, I would have enjoyed the photo focusing in on that fact. Perhaps a closer shot of the pump's display? The plant seems to steal some of the focus away from the pump as well. I like the washed out effect...it feels as though the pump were out in the desert for years. |

| I like the green color of the pump...reminds me of the color of old Chevy trucks...and I like the living plant next to the old dead log. Other than the sun being behind the photo, I like it... and I know when the opportunity for a photo arises, you have to take it. We don't always have time to come back when the lighting is better....6.... |

| This shot could have been much stronger if the lighting were better. The shot is a bit overexposed and this has washed everything out. I think a bit of cropping would also be helpful. You might be able to get better lighting by playing with the levels, saturation and exposure functions. |

| I remember a time it was 30 cents a gallon, but that was some 35 years ago. I'll rate it a 7 |

| This is a good idea, but closing in on the pump would have worked better. |

| This is a great find. I like the juxtapostion of the old pump and the new plant. It all seems overexposed, however, and perhaps needs some sharpening? |

| With the lighting I probably would have got more of a close-up of the pump or waited for better lighting. Darken the contrast or go with a tone or black and white might have worked a little better with this photo. |
