I like the textures. The focus and clarity really help to bring out the textures in the peeling wood. Very simple shot, but lots to look at. I also think that the lack of color really helps to bring out the texture as well. Nice lighting and the angle and framing are good as well. Can't find anything technically that I would improve and visually your photo is interesting and holds my attention. definatley reflects the challenge. I also love the placement of the round circle part within the photo. 10 from me. ~Heather~
Is it art of the doors or part of the handle? If it was supposed to be a part of the door (or even a house) - the handle should stay. It adds the story behaind the image. Generally I like it. It has nice atmosphere. 8.
