This is a pretty nice shot. I can't really add anything that hasn't been told to you already. I've looked at this photo for about 15 minutes trying to find something that I don't like or is technically wrong. The only thing I could find is on the lower left, there is something that looks like it might be sensor dust.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of the borders, but this one matches the photo so well.

Congrats on lucky number 13...

First off, let me congratulate you on your photo. I loved this, as you probably saw from my original comment. I gave this an 8 to start with.

The colors are amazing and the focus couldn't be better, in my opinion.

My only complaint is the border. Firstly, I'm not a big fan of borders, but I'm not against them either. My issue with the border is that your photo shows through it. So, instead of it being a true border, it's various shades of pink around the edge that you can see through.

Again, I loved the shot.

Congrats on a great shot. I really like this one. I think it was one of the most innovative in the challenge.

I don't think there's much that I can say that hasn't already been said.

I agree that something other than the carpet should have been used, but the soft texture of it does add to the hardness of the doorknob.

Also, having something behind the camera would have helped immensely. The other commenters mentioned a black or white background. I'd suggest a medium blue to contrast the silver. And also, as you mentioned, the scars on the doorknob aren't the best idea, but I don't think they distract too much.

If you'd like, PM me about this critique. Also, please be sure to mark that it was helpful, if, in fact, it is.
