 Entrance to an old Gymnasium that's been shut done for decades. I don't know what attracts me to old rotten doors but I find beauty in the decay for some reason. Well my first shot of a door did horrible in a challenge. Let's see how this one does.

5 - Tricky with this one, as my eye wants to see it symmetrical, but it is not, the right side door (from my vantage point) seems narrower.. I also wonder about a stronger crop at the bottom to match the top. Overall, the character within the 'entrance', doesn't feel like it is being showcased enough, 'somehow'.

The framing feels too tight. And whatever you used to bring out the textures (Topaz? HDR?) seems heavy handed.

And yet another low score from me that I am bumping up. I like how you framed this and I think it would be interesting to see hung in a gallery. Still isn't one of my top picks but it isn't one of my low scores now. Good luck.
