I can see what Sherpet is talking about - the colors do indeed mimic those of the shavings of a pencil .. I enjoy the cats peaceful sleep .. orange tabby cat are so pretty you did him justice - I say him as they are usually male.

Greeting from the Comment Bomb Squad!

This is a shot that is underappreciated by the commenters and voters alike. The bulding has a striking shape and I love the crane on top as it takes your eye off of the building and into the sunset. But then the beautiful rays of light bring you rigt back on to the subject to complete the circle. The sky has great interest. I think you could have upped the light on the building face in PP to bring out some of those details where it is darkest. But above all the color, shape and beautiful light make this shot a winner!

I voted this a 9 in the challenge I know I was stricken by the colors! They shine through on this shot. The blue on green background in the front combined with the reds of the late sunset, it has the base colors RGB! The angle this was shot at gives the frontal view some perspective and the line of the clouds on the right takes you into the image. The background of the shot looses some detail in the upper windows, but the detail is all there in the foreground on the fountain.

'Tis beautiful.

Greetings from the Comment Bomb Squad!

I am just going through your portfolio stopping at some images that move me. I love shots of doors and your shot provides a wonderful mood with an excellent composition!

The lines leading to the door create a great focal point including the steps, the top of the kneewall next to the steps leading down, and the break in the wall exposing the block underneath leading up to the door. The color and tones combined with the textures of the masonry work and the diffuse, low contrast light work together to create a moody portrait of a lovely scene. The pop of color really helps to set the door off as the focal point.

Because this was entered in a color challenge, I am sure the DPC voters were expecting shiny, happy colors. However, this moody door shot scores high in my book!
