      Great color and texture, and just look at that price per gallon: 31 cents! The price window doesn't even have a spot for $/gallon.

      I like the color contrast...well done

      Great effect! What software do you use? I use Corel.

    20. sarowen (55 months ago | reply)

      Thanks, Gary. I used Adobe Photoshop CS for this one. It's kind of confusing and time consuming at first, but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

    21. Episode Phive (55 months ago | reply)

      Very rustic shot. I love these Americana style shots. The focal black and white was a nice touch too!
