    The Doors

    Another one from my recent adventure at a local burned factory. I liked the crooked position of the fire extinguisher sign and how the light creeps around the doors themselves.

    I like the dynamics of this shot and the composition, but there's some funky perspective distortion going on, almost like it was perspective corrected and pushed too far - the doors are smaller at the bottom than at the top (normally it's the other way around). If that were straightened up I think you'd have a winner. This also might look great as a B&W.

    Great find...If Jetrim hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't have thought twice about the distortion.Great muted colors,depth. I like everything about this AND that line that leads to the light.Very good.

    I never noticed that distortion either! Quite frankly dont know what to say about it, my guess is the angle and could be more of an illusion?

    Thanks for the feedback guys!

    I like this alot, I would crop out the rubble in the foreground so it doesnt distract from doors and more contrast

    I agree with Jetrim. Skew the doors and maybe saturate the sign to make it stand out some.

    Re: The Doors

    Good advice so far.

    I'd like to see the shot from a lower or higher perspective and maybe off at an angle.

    I'd also like to see an angled shot low with a narrow DOF........it would ask more questions of the viewer.

    Nice find
