    Wow, have you been to my hometown? We have on here in our town just like it. Color all the way. I think you should get rid of the sign at the top.

    I think the first one is best of the three. 2 is just overdone, and 3 seems to lose some detail.
    mostly Nikon gear

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    My vote is for the color.Great texture and patina. I've seen fire doors like this on old WWI munitions plants, is this a factory like that?

    I like the exagerated door texture of the second shot and the colours of the first.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Well, looks like it's just about unanimous! I was a little concerned that the full color was a bit over the top, but I guess not Thanks for the feedback. This door is on the side of an abandoned factory in downtown Dothan. It appears to have once been an interior door between warehouse sections, but the adjacent room has since been demolished, exposing it to the elements. Must admit, I'm having fun scouring the countryside for stuff to shoot while I'm here in AL.
