Ouch..
The backlight's a little too much for this shot..
Consider using a little fill-in flash?
composition is good..

Nice..
I love the texture and the feel..
Would love it to be a little zoomed out to allow some room around the door..
Photo is too tightly cropped here.
But.. perfect light control. Good work

I love the signature..
ohh.. sorry.. suppose to comment in the photo..

The composition is good.. in fact.. the DOF worked well here..
However, the bluish-purplish glow kinda spoils the overall feel..

Try to desaturate the few rocks at the back a little.. might help..

Simple and impactful..
I like the overall presentation.
Work on a little "bronze" effect..
It'll be fun..

I had to agree with Tim on his comments.
Read up on the B/W post processing techniques, it'll help a lot.

The subject would work well as a coloured photo. Thus, a B/W representation would not do very well here...

I would prefer a different angle for this shot to make the topping a little more "pleasing" to the eyes..

You're welcomed to send me the original and see what I can do with it..

Cheers

Simple and effective.
I love this shot.
A pity you don't have the use of an external flash. it'll work wonders.
I noticed that you're shooting:
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/54 sec

Try to do an aperture-priority and close the aperture to around 9... and see what you'll get. Remember to use a tripod.

The composition of the photo can be improved slightly. ie. the wire is a little messy, causing the photo to be a little disorganized.

I'm not a big fan of the post-processing. The toning of the photo makes it a little harsh to look at.

can i have a look at the source photo? would like to see if we can improve on the post-processing..
