Greetings from the Critique Club, this will be the second of your images I've got in the one week!

Composition: I like the composition as I'm a bit of a fan of some negative space. Having the door low and left leaves a lot of the wall for us to look at. The wall holds little interest so we are forced to concentrate on the door and the great path that leads up to it. The line in the path moving directly to the door in fantastic. I can see you had a little dilema here: level the snowline or line up the vertical lines in the wall? It's hard to say without seeing it but I'm inclined (no pun intended) to say the wall lines are the stronger element so they should be the lined up ones.

Technical: Here's where I see the problem. Some of the commenters have mentioned it but the image lacks sharpness. Is it a small crop? A resize issue? The processing? Whatever the case it makes it hard to look at and find the little interesting elements as they all seems to blur together in a way. I'm sure this is worth half a point in your score.

Feeling: I love the concept of the image. I like the mass of red and the contrast with the snow. A great image to play with: how about if you had tried changing the colour of the wall but leaving the door red?

PM me if you have any questions

Hey Don, is that the door they went AWOL through?

You give great comments, and have a good eye on the art of photography, I am one of the 5's given for this image, my thoughts were the crop could have been tighter on the door, making the path off set, but that is only INHO.

Ground seems really soft, which is a very pleasing effect to my eye. You know, Red Door would be a cool name for a band... :-)

Nice capture - Is this a large crop from an image? Seems really soft which is a shame. Great colour and good composition.

Ground lacks focus...Peeling paint is a bit distracting
