Good contrast, but in the end, it's just a door (sorry). There isn't anything appealing about this particular door.

I would like to see a different perspective used photographing this doorway. Didn't like the narrowing of the door at the top, and the upper right hand corner of the window cropped off. LIke it in b&w.

I think the story that this photo tells is among the strongest in the competition:

It starts with a great old door that's made of rotted wood. . This the wood is just a frame around the outside and it's a frame we imagine anyone's grandmother could kick to smithereens. most of the door is glass - even easier to break. The whole thing is very very old, very very easy to break or break into. And it appears to have been abandoned for decades. Securing this door is a very modern, very expensive, very high-tech lock and latch system. At least someone has the proper respect for good security!

I think the photo would be better if it were a bit sharper. And although the lighing works very well, there is nor much drama to the photo.
