| This doesn't speak to me at all, it's just kind of drab and lonely, nothing pops for me. |

| No gas today, no reason left to stay. Nice desolate feel to this shot. |

| Interesting capture of a seemingly abandoned space. I like how the colors kind of add to the bleakness. |

| the desaturation (?) works here, or is that the actual color? |

| Image feels very flat. The muted tones work well with the image but subject feels a bit unbalanced in the frame. |

| Good saturation. It might have worked in black and white, but it certainly didn't need bold colors. The little bit of color you retained is perfect. I like the geometry and framing also. |

| Must be an outtake from the gas stations challenge. A good photo to show the decay and ruin. |

| This is a nice sharp photo but I would have scored it higher had it been cropped and/or composed differently |

| Outtake from gas station? Nice shot. Since you're cutting off the overhang a little already, you might want to try cropping it in from the left some more. I realize that you'd lose the "fina" on the overhang, but the left 1/5 of the picture doesn't have much interest, and the tall pole and the sweeping upward wire at the top are a little distracting. Try cropping it in from left to right before the black rectangular sign--I think it will concentrate the focus a little more and get rid of some distractions. |

Love that tiny 'Trust Jesus' graffiti in there. There's something so interesting about a closed gas station.
FWIW, I recall hearing something about there being a requirement to leave the ground of a gas station undeveloped for X number of years (I think 10 years) for environmental protection reasons back when I was working at one. Could be wrong. |

| All the horizontal shapes are great; one one level it's a near abstract of bold blocks, some kind of secret order out of desolation. 7. |

| you captured the deserted feeling well. the border is too strong in my opinion. |

| I like the slight desat look. The frame adds drama it wouldn't otherwise have, I think. |

| This is so desolate. Nice mood. Not sure about the border. It's so similar to the canopy. Like the muted tones. |

| seems a bit dark...do you think that the framing adds to the dark feel? curves/levels?? |

| crop is a little too tight in my opinion, and the desaturation of colors makes this look drab... but not in a good way. |

| Sorry I dont like this. Wires and distractions and bad colors to me. In the gas station challenge for basic editing it would be nice but for this challenge I just dont think it works. |
