Went to my favorite place that always seems to yield something interesting, the Fort Worth Stockyards. There were a lot of doors with more ornate and interesting hardware than these very plain handles, but I really like the way this shot beckons me to step inside for a round of pool and a cold one.
I'm really enjoying the strong perspectives and close focusing distance my new Tamron 10-24 offers.
I feel I have some shots that may be safer for a reasonable placement, but I like this one, my DPL teammates like it, and my wife does not. All good signs to take a risk and enter something that will hopefully be a little different. Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead.
Anticipated critiques:
-Main subject is the pool hall and not the door handles.
-Don't like the divided composition.
Post-challenge notes:
Didn't do as well as I had hoped, but I knew it was a risky entry, so I'm not really surprised. I had some of the more expected shots of locks, but I took a chance with this perspective view. No risk, no reward. |

| I thought I commented on this during the challenge. I think it's a wonderful image. I love the simple lines of the door and the handle and the way it leads you inside. I also really like the contrast of the colors between the door and the pool hall. BTW I gave it an 8. Good work spiff! |

| good clarity...only one thing...the flooring on the bottom IMO didn't add to the picture at all...and mind you it's not counting against you...just an observation/opinion... |

| The door panel slices the photo in half, so the outside scene competes with your door, I would have shot either more door, or more of the outside scene, nice shot though, creates two different atmospheres. |

| I like the difference in scene from one side of the door to the other. |
