This is a composite of a red door sitting around my studio and a shot taken in the Ruidoso NM area.

Hi, and welcome to DPC. Looks like you're pretty new here. One of the big no-nos is merging multiple images in any challenge other than expert editing rules.
Please take some time to read and learn the rules, because if this image is an example of your creative eye, I look forward to seeing more!
Despite the illegal composite, and not having the original...am I the only one who sees the bright rectangle of lightness or dodging around the door? It stands out quite a bit on my monitor. Just really want to know if this is what people find acceptable in ribbon winning photos now?
Every person who thought this was a single image during voting should be banned from every voting again.
Ah, but you should always vote as if the image was valid. I'm sure that's in the rules somewhere.
Great image anyway. I think i've been there. It's at the end of the Red Brick Road (not the yellow one that Dorothy took)
Eh, I haven't been on here to vote in years and thought from the thumbnail that arrived in my e-mail today that it was all wrong. If you look at the lighting, it's even more obvious. And the halo around the door...
Awesome shot, I hear what others are saying but a lot of building materials are called composites meaning it is made out of a resin. This would make it lightweight...right?
I hope this isn't as you said a composite of two photos, and I am misunderstanding otherwise this will be dq'ed darn and it was such a wonderful image.
I like it, it shows a lot of fantasy, all tough I somehow miss the road to go further ahead.
But the red of the door contrasts beautifully with the white of the winter landscape
