Really appealing in its simple complexity. It's intriguing how the shadows so very much establish the impact of the image. The empty field on the right is made vibrant by the handle and its shadow, which shadow shimmers with parallel lines like a fingerprint. Handle and shadow become horns, talons, an embrace, etc.. The key, at its jaunty angle, seems to pass right through the door in its ghostly shadow. Well seen.

The shadow makes this a dynamic image, a door handle suddenly becomes tongs. Shadow-play can really fool ya.

Love the way the shadow perfectly bisects the door handle plate. Tonal range is handled well. Nicely done!

Your kitchen door handle wants to be independent and he’s willing to rip your arm off for it, creepy.

Nice detail, focus, and composition. The shadow adds interest. The focal point and interest for me is the key. I might have cleaned up the wall, where the dirt specks don’t seem to benefit the image.

To be honest I don't know what that tree is but I'm in Africa, so a South American tree seems unlikely.

Edit: I stand corrected. There is a silk floss tree in South Africa, but most of the photos I see have worse thorns than are visible in this photo. I'll have to have a better look at that tree next time I'm at the flea market and try to figure it out.
