Hi for me, the image is a little too "busy" to work 100%, but that's just a personal opinion, others may well disagree. I can see why you took it and it gets your point across loud and clear! And now all that Coke is making me feel thirsty... be right back... ;)

Hi Barry,
Was the title to be two fold, personal refueling and vehicle refueling?
I particularly like the use of the vehicle as a ‘canvas’ for your picture.
I like the mix of colors and Coke. :-)

Hi Barry,
That's a lot of Coke to reflect on, and judging by this view of what your car must be, probably a lot of fuel as well! I like your title and interpretation. Even if it was unintentional, the blue pump handle at bottom left seems to balance the sky at top right, just as the red tail light at bottom right balances the red Coke towards the top left. On that point, I may have framed the shot a bit lower to move the Coke up a bit and show more of the tail light, but that's just me. It may equally have killed the pic by reducing the sky, which may have reduced the idea of the freedom you could derive from fueling your car. An alternative may have been to leave the top the same, but take in more of the lower elements just past the tail light. Maybe I'm thinking way too hard, but when I stopped to look I noticed a lot more than my initial glimpse showed me.
Cheers, John
