An old abandoned house found while I was randomly driving around New York I fell waist deep in snow for this picture, and it was cold! Plus I got some weird stares.

Beautiful textures and good composition. The lighting is a bit flat though, with harsh shadows. Did you use the flash? The shallow DOF is an interesting effect, adding depth, but I'm not sure that it works well.
Great idea, photo a bit busy for my taste and the stuff on the edges (esp the left edge) is distracting and am not wild about the lighting. The inside of that room might have offered a good shot, too.
An interesting photo, but not enough range of tone for me. It's all kind of neutral, and though there are a few areas of contrast, they are small, and for me, not enough to balance the photo well.
Mostly well taken photo, there's at least two doors, so challenge well met. The two foreground items are a bit distracting (the bar of wood coming from the bottom of the frame - and the part of the door leaning on the wall on the right side of the frame). Plus the shadows created by the flash aren't very appealing (don't add anything but maybe a bit of depth). Visually, I don't care for it, sorry, it just doesn't appeal to me. 6 Swash
challenge met, but not with a totally appealing pic IMHO. a little more contrast would've given the pic more "pop" and i also don't like the harsh shadows (from flash?) but it's hard to say how to change that w/out being there. doesn't exactly look like a place that has electricity. maybe focus more on the door, use a tripod and some portable light if at all possible.
NIce depth of field picture, a little out of focus in the front of the picture, that's is the cameras fault not yours. The biggest problem happened when you tilted your camera to the side to get a vertical picture it put your flash to the side. This cause all your shaddows to be to the right of the images. If have a detachable flash and an extion cord that connects to the camera you can hand hold the flash above the camera and all your shadows will be behind the image. There are also grips you can buy that can attach to your camera that holds the flash. The parts that holds the flash swivals to always have the flash on top. I hope this helps. John
I don't like the foreground stuff. If this picture were taken from 5 feet further back I think the effect would still be achieved and the foreground stuff not so noticeable - Inspzil
