Ah - now I see what happened.
Recent PC upgrade/hardware changes.
Video setting was at 16 Bit color, not 32 Bit.
Was seeing some "odd" banding in a number of my other portfolio pics and had me wondering. Now at 32 Bit, it's back the way it should have been.

I really liked this image. Cool composition with the door frame and light coming in across the bottom of the image at an angle. Nice contrast and tones. I had two minor nitpicks: 1) The wire (?) on the ground in the doorway I would have moved out of the way. 2) The doorframe (right edge) could have been a bit sharper. JMO. If the intent was to cast the viewer out the door to the view beyond (as your title suggests), then nevermind about nitpick number 2. ;^)

This was one of my favorite shots..lovely contrasts and composition...I thought it would be top 20..congratulations, anyway! I don't see any reddish bands on my monitor..if they are there, it's subtle.

i love this shot! the light falling through the door onto the dirt floor really makes it dramatic. should have placed much higher. (hug)

Now that's odd.
Those reddish bands in the sky were not there in post-processing, nor after the upload. Just saw them for the first time now. Odd...

Did anyone else see them during the challenge?

This is a different shot,- great angle and composition. I like the b&w tone. Good job!

I like the balance of the shadows and highlights here. Interesting how the light falls and reflects enough to show some of the interior. Stone vs Stone. 8

I like this,,a different look

Darn, just not sure why this one isn't working for me. Too much interior? Rocks too strong/big in comparison?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the extreme contrast of this image..the angularity of the door is nicely softened by the rounded rocks beyond...the shadows are intense..8

I like the clear contrast between the bare darkness of the interior and the clarity of the barren landscape outside. The white stains on the wall are a little distracting to me as they partly break the contrast. Saying that a great shot.

A well composed shot but I'm not fond of the picture. Perhaps if the whole inside was lighter it would have a greater impact. Good luck in this challenge.

I really enjoy this picture. I love the white spots on the wall that are picked up by the light coming through the doorway.

A great image, but its not about the building, its about the landscape outside the building.

Very interesting and different image....I like the rock formation in the background maybe because I'm a guy......:-)........Don't know if you used a Tri pod for this but if you didn't I think you would have had a sharper image if you didn't. 5
