I think that the crop (getting the edges of the frame to line up with the fence uprights) is very thoughtfully done.

great lighting and colors. i want to really like this pic even though the line really runs off the page...i'm still very much drawn to your focal point the door knob. the angle not being straight on just makes me uncomfortable...not sure exactly why.

fabulous photo, I love it! I'd love to give you top marks, but I just don't see leading lines here. Lots of lines, but no leading lines.

Your line appears too static...I think a different angle would have made this a lot better.

This is a very appealing, warm & even welcoming image. Sort of a geometric abstract, but with real objects creating the shapes. Great colours, tones & textures, very good point-of-view and a meticulous crop ... all combine to create a harmonious whole. Whether it's a good example of leading lines is another matter. The several subordinate leading lines all lead to the handrail (the dominant line), which promptly dumps the viewer out of the image! However, maybe that's just MY cockeyed point-of-view. Whatever, it's a very good photograph. 8

I love this. The yellow really pops and the texture of the worn door and the brick really add to it.

the lightning nand resulting richness in color along with an excellent commposition make this a very pleasing image to look at

Nice color, composition and lighting of a somewhat simple subject. Good job.

Nice composition and vibrant colors. I wish you took this photo straight on so it's a flat elevation as opposed to at an angle.
