Nice choice for the sepia. Too bad there's no old gas pump out front. I like having the flag there, though. Good job.

The pole, dead-center in the image, really stands out and kills the composition. Sorry. Did you try different perspectives that move the pole to the side. Nice use of sepia to enhance the image though.

excellent cropping-this screams midwest/farmland America to me-sepia really displays vintage characteristics nicely

Two things I notice straight away.
Softness (of focus?) and poor composition.
In terms of composition, there seems to be no balance within the frame. What is the main focal point - is it that pole, the signage on the left, the frontage of the building of the right? The pole and the overall image feels tilted and the top of the pole dissects the frame and the sky, breaking what flow there was from the left to the right. I just can't find a place for the eye to settle.
I like the black and white with sepia toning to place the buildings in time.
I wonder if other viewpoints would have provided a more aesthetically pleasing image.
