An awesome photo that screams "blue." Well composed and exposed.

wonderful colors... the composition would have been stronger is the door was open or even slightly open, inviting the spectator in rather than shutting them out. 8

Lovely photo. I might have liked more if the doors were less centered, but the objects on either side are complementary nonetheless. The colours are fantastic - 9

This would have been more effective to me if you had cropped off the foreground and the light under the door. Also maybe take it from a different view so the door wasn't right in the middle of the photo. I like the subject and it fits the challenge.

Nice contrast. Is this IN AZ or NM?

Good subject, but may suffer a little from having a few distractions in the image
A tighter crop of just the big door and the small "window" type door to the right against the plain background but including the wooden lintels, would give it more impact for me. Nice pic though..good luck...7

What a beautiful subject! I would have preferred closer cropping at top and bottom of photo.
