    Doors

    Comments welcome. Already cropped a bit in post processing, this one has additional potential crops too.

    Greg,

    I really can not tell why you took this shot ... it doesn't tell me much

    Maybe I would have used flash to fill in the shade of the handle and vertical shade on the lower left

    Wonder how many people crash into each other going in and out through these doors

    Edit: one amazing thing, it has zero distortion, you are really perpendicular to the door, or already did some distortion correction ...

    I see this as a statement about the toxic world we live in. There are signs for supplements as well as detox products so this business is selling both potentially toxic and detoxifying products. That says something about the crazy world we live in and created for ourselves.
    Technically the exposure and focus look good but I wish I could see more of the sign above the door if my interpretation of the theme is correct.

    Armando - We don't see this type store here in San Diego too often, though from my few trips to Mexico I bet they're pretty common. What does it say? That's for the viewer to decide: I'm keeping it a secret And yeah, that shadow's the one real flaw, but I've found that it sometimes helps to have one in a photo, especially symmetric ones. See the original posted here to see what distortion control I did in post.

    Matt, here's the full image. I kept cropping a little more here and a little more there in post. I agree that there's something silly about supplements.
