This is actually the door to someone\'s grave. I guess no one visited for a while. Basic editing: crop, convert to duotone, shadows, highlights and smart sharpen.

Nice subject matter. It is a bit contrasty to me--super-dark shadow and very bright highlights but little detail in the midtones. Where I'd especially like to see a bit more detail is in the area of the padlock. My other issue is the greenish-yellow color cast that I'm seeing on my monitor (Mac calibrated to sRGB profile.) I prefer the whites to look more white and the blacks to be pure black but that is more of a personal preference.

This is such a great idea! I like the concept, but don't care for the excessive neat image. Also, I might have chosen a slightly wider crop, if possible, in order to make the lock less centered in the photo (this would add interest, in my opinion). The cobwebs at the bottom are my favorite touch here - nice!

Looks oversharpened from the halloing... Not so sure I like the processing into duotones...

Contrast is a little low for me, it just kind of all blends together, though I do get an "old" feeling from it.
