It does suggest a door so I'd say it fits the challenge even tho it isn't really a photo OF the door. My biggest complaint is that the strong vertical is in the center of the frame. I like the lines created by the tiles, but I think that the handle should be more to the right or left. The lighting/exposure is a bit dark IMO. There's just not enough tonal range as the whole shot is pretty grey without a lot of contrast. I think that technically it's a pretty good shot actually. The score is probably a reflection of a lack of interest more than anything else. It needs some color or emotional pull of some sort. This looks a little too cold and clinical. Having the floor in the shot doesn't bother me - it adds another line of interest IMO. Just another example of how ideas are so important around here. If you don't find a subject that everyone likes, it doesn't really matter how well you can shoot. |

Cool! Great perspective all along that wall and strong composition. |

This is a very interesting angle of a door. I like this photo a lot but I can honestly say the border really hurts this photo. They don't compliment each other well in my opinion. I like the the B&W. No border or one that isn't so obstrusive and you get a higher score from me. Good work and luck in the challenge. |

Like the perspective, refreshing. The simplicity works also. A little more contrast maybe? Nice shot. (7) |

I like the black and white treatment; and the angles and lines. I can see the door handle, so it effectively meets the challenge, but overall, the shot has little impact for me. |

Solidly taken photo. Focus is good, needs more contrast to work in black and white (to me at least). While I KNOW there's a door there due to the handle, it's not enough, I need more to say this is a door subject photo. 6 Swash |
