    Love most all your stuff from Cuba Liban, and this is no exception. I really like the composition of this shot. So many paths for the eye to take, yet still grounded by the subject. Your shadow works great in this one too, almost as if it was my own shadow being cast as I look through the door :thumbsup:

    Yep, as Jim stated this has many elements for the eye to wander but the subject demands we get back to it. I like that we can see the fine detail and subtle nuances of the interior wall in front of you.
    I see this working great in b&W.
    Great

    Thought maybe the left side needs some detail but after I tried it and brought up the grain in the door and writing on it the subject just got lost due to the photo being too busy. Changed my mind, looks great as is, Jeff

    I am writing this one without reading other ones ...so, if repetitive, sorry. I would have preferred a portrait shot with the rest of the arch showing through on the top and perhaps not so much ground. Also, I like the shadow on the left wall, as it suggests that some one is looking. Not sure how the sigh in the upper right adds to the image. I think it is exposed well, considering the stark contrast between the darker walls and the main subject.

    Great dof on this, doors are sharp as is the main subject. Its busy but in a good way, because most of the items have interest in their own right.

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

    Thanks for all the great feedback all.

    I'm surprised no one thinks it's flat. That's what I thought about it. hey, maybe it isn't as bad as I thought
