Through The Back Kitchen Door

I've taken a bit of a shine to this one myself so would be more than interested to hear your thoughts on it.

Interesting shot and very unique subjects.

First, the door handle on the left is somewhat of a nuisance for me. The overblown sky doesn't help this, but it does draw my eye to the horse, so it does help in that sense. Also, there is a handle (?) near the top right that also distracts from this shot. This shot is tooooootally random but I love it nonetheless!

Great shot.

I don't like it, I'm turned of by the condition of the kitchen..... I find the shy over exposed. I do like the idea.

Tom, this is a very interesting concept and composition and i commend you for stepping out of the box, so to speak, in some of your latest works. My initial thought on this was that this should have been a vertical compose, but, there is something so random and spontaneous here and deliberate, that I'm feeling more comfortable with it in a short time. An image like this will be either loved or hated, but I feel this work may seperate you from the crowd, in a good way. btw, the condition of the kitchen works for me in this, although I don't keep my own like this

Jared: Thanks for you comments and I have to say that red utensil handle should have bee cloned out. The door handle for me is a must in this one. The little things like the Holy Water font inside the door and the anarchy of the table appealed to me.
You are a great forum member Jared; you seem to manage to get around to every post to critique.
Freygr: This image is not for everyone I'm sure. There was a blanket white/grey sky all that day which was a bit of a pity.The state of the kitchen is what it is all about to an extent. This is a derelict house but with very interesting remains within and I will post some more soon. Thanks for you comments.
Gary: When I found this house and trespassed through it I was like a young boy on Christmas morning. It is a treasure chest of "photographable" memories. As I carefully rambled around, memories of Seb's visit to the old factory and your Views from Within shots were often recalled. I took all the shots very quickly before I was caught out and indeed some shots were taken in almost total darkness using the camera's own flash.
I have a feeling you and Seb would have been very much at home here and I try to imagine what approaches you would have come up with. I'm very happy you like this image.
BTW You mean you don't tidy up your kitchen then?

Tom,

I sort of agree about the handle but I would have like to see just a bit more door to make it deliberate, it just seems to be either an afterthought or not seen as it stands.

However saying that i like the concept and look forward to seeing more

Thanks so much Roger. I will post some more soon.
