Birmingham Realty Company Building in Birmingham, Alabama, built in 1905. The door plate and door knob were probably made by P & F Corbin. The pattern was known as "Pavia". The door knob is a roaring lion (well worn with age and use).

the metal piece on the top left hand side is distracting; I'm thinking more of a straight shot instead of an angle might have been better for this particular door knob
The background is wasted space and doesnt add anything to your shot, I would have concerntrated more on the atcual door handle/feature as this is your intersting subject matter.
i can see your reflection! i feel as though there are a few distracting elements in this - the plaque in the top left, your reflection, the edge of the window itself... but a tighter crop wouldnt work wither. maybe a different composition where those elements may have worked FOR you? it is certainly a fascination subject!
