Looking at it on my semi-uncalibrated laptop, the shadows look all
blocked up.
I know, I actually prepared the color image on an old IBM G96 monitor
and this on my Laptop. Needless to say they render very differently on
each system. I know the IBM is problematic.
I've got to re-calibrate both systems, (and swap the NEC for the IBM, I
managed to bung up the NEC's vidio cable and just managed to replace it).
It would be nice if everyone's equipment rendered the same files the
same way, but even calibrated this doesn't seem to be the case. I've
taken to opening images that look either too dark washed out in
irfanview to adjust the gamma so I can see what the poster might have
intended...

I like a lot. These old gas pumps are disappearing fast! Looked at the B&W rendering and the pumps are way too dark on my monitor. No detail whatsoever, where there's lots of detail in the colour shot. Difficult exposure handled well.

I'd probably have taken this subject in a portrait orientation, eliminating some of the extraneous background and with the sun at my back.

Where is it? What fascinates me about the shot is the background - it

be England.
