This is a really nice photo - very "old-time".

Here\'s some heavy nostalgia.

And at a price we'll never see again!

A single digit for the dollar amount. For a whole tank no less. Those were the days!

I might have rated higher if this were in color, I'm imagining those old red gas pumps.. Also would have liked to see the pump hose fully.

I would have liked to see this in color, the age is sufficently carried on with the pump. Perhaps a title reflecting Nostalgia for lower gass prices? Can't read the price amount on the picture.

I usually like thigs out of center but in this case it feels off balance. It is true to the theme and I like b&w.

Where did you find THIS machine still standing? This definitely hit my nostalgia nerve. I remember as a kid traveling across country with my parents on family vacations -- my dad wouldn't stop at a station that charged more than 30 cents per gallon. Oh, those were the days...

The photo speaks "volumes" but I think you've cropped it a bit too tight. I wouldn't cut off the right and I'd give the top more breathing room. Cutting off the nozzle and hose works for me though. Nicely done.
