#5 On Second Thought

I drove by this view one time and thought, that might be a good picture. But I kept going. Then, just as I was less than a block away from home I decided to go back and take the picture. I really thought that the two old cars at the closed down service station would be picturesque.It turned out that the concept of the picture was better than the actual picture. I took several different shots and just could not come up with exactly what I wanted.
I made my way around to the South side of the building and took several shots. Still it didn't feel quite right. So, I decided to try a black and white image. I thought the old timey look to the picture was more of what I wanted to capture. Not perfect, but I am glad that I went back and took a few pictures. I was at least able to experiment with a few different settings on my camera.

I really love what you are doing with this picture challenge! I really need to work harder on finding the perfect picture I think!

I like it! Maybe sepia tone. You could frame it with black matting or somehting. Very nice!
