This is underappreciated, if you ask me :)
Fantastic photo, with a lovely archaic feel to it.
I love the textures, that's the first thing that jumps out at you when you look at the photo. The composition is unusual, and therefore interesting (imo). The black and white works well.
Objections:
I don't like the fact the top of the door is in shadow, and that the branches in shadow seem to blur into one another. I think some subtle dodging and burning could've done miracles to fix that (eg. the plant climbing up the wall on the lower right seems to get lost in the shadow. Even very slight dodging of highlights totally brings it out)
Once you've used Neat Image, unsharp mask (40%, 4.3px) gets rid of the blurriness. However, I'm not sure that applying the two makes much difference to the image - I really can't see much noise to start off with.
Anyway, hope this helps. PM me if you have any questions.
