The doors from the Hard Rock Hotel out to the back parking garage. The front doors have cool guitar-shaped handles. :-)

Probably too busy for DPC but my teammates liked it well enough. We'll see.

Gosh, sorry again dear DPC voters! I really didn't mean to piss you off throughout the entire DPL season but I'm sure giving it my best shot at that, aren't I?

Sorry.

Too busy. Not in color. Can't tell they're door handles. Uninteresting. Boring. Not DPC friendly. What else?

[May. 25th, 2010 11:30:13 PM]

Think any of these might have hit, say, 5.25 if I were really really lucky?

Just out of curiousity, was there a way to shoot the front HRH with the back ones showing throw the middle of the front R? As an aside, I was expecting more door handles like these and I am surprised people didn't get it.

Which is why giving the photographer the benefit of the doubt is the proper thing to do.

I really do like this a lot. Perfect in black and white. Love the angle and the see-through, repetitive layering. I agree with Ben about the 5.

Hey that 5 looks cool on your portfolio page!

You got hit by people who didn't understand they were handles -- there are a lot of people who don't see things like that too often. It is a spectacular shot. It must be, because I gave it an 8!

A tighter crop would make this more effective IMHO

Something original in this challenge. Looks great in black and white.

Wow. This one took me quite awhile to figure out, and I'm still wondering if I'm really getting it. I'm going to assume that I am and give it an 8.

B&W makes the image appear more abstract
