Taken at an abandoned sanatory for people with tuberculosis on a rainy day. The water was flooding the floor thus creating the reflection of this interesting door.

what an interesting image. i really hope this little gem isn't getting overlooked by the voters in this monster challenge, and that it is getting the viewing time necessary to be appreciated. there are so many interesting elements working here, this is fun to view. i really like this as a bw, and can imagine that color would be a bit distracting. good luck, and please don't take it personally if this gets overlooked. keep up the good work!
The reflection here is phenomenal and so is the composition and toning. If you had gotten this in a square format with less space on the top and more of what's below, it would be perfect. Still a 10 in my book...
I like this composition and choice to go B&W. I am a sucker for reflections and personally would have taken the shot with the top of the door at the top of the image so the reflection on the floor would represent at least half of the image. EDIT...Tough call on my original comment above, because the black abyss at the top adds an interesting element to this image...almost an eerie abondoned feel. Good shot.
I don't suppose this will appeal to everyone, but I sure rate it very highly. It has a classical artistic feel, rather like a Dutch/Belgian Old Masters painting. Beautiful light, centred yet asymmetrical composition, and what looks to me to be flawless photographic technique. 10.
