Not sure why I chose the title, or in French to boot. Porte sounds a bit like portal and I think the decisions we make kind of transport us through a portal to new experience. Maybe Optimist would have been a better title. At any rate, I kind of like this entry..

This is, aside from being a lovely image, an interesting statement about you: straight forward, middle of the road, optimistic, and a little bent :-)

I don't like fisheye shots, but then that's me. Nt sure what this pic is telling me about you though.

Nicely cropped, good exposure. The tinyest of tiny things.... there's something a quarter of the way up, in the door opening.. once I noticed it I couldn't stop looking at it.... I know its only a minor minor imperfection but, in such a minimalist shot I can't help seeing it all the time now. Good use of the fisheye effect, I like the texture of the floor. Well done.

Love the effect, but my french isn't so hot so I though at first glance you were saying you're a toilet door "door to number 2's". Either way I like it :)

I really like the photo, but I'm having trouble seeing how it relates to this particular challenge.
