I had a similar idea of bars on a house window and was going to title it "Protection or Prision" but couldn't find one. This is very nice. Cool image, wonder if crop is a little tight though.
I wonder if this picture was like some of those other black and whites, if it would make it look more dramatic. I do like it, but it seems to be lacking punch. GL
love that the door is offset - not shot straight on - gives the image more character. I owuld have cropped it just a little less tightly to make that offset even more noticeable. Needs a little bright/contrast but not too much, in my opinion. Love the colors - the rust plays extremely well with the blue. 8 from me - good luck in the challenge! BTW - it always amuses me to see wooden frames on metal doors. Kind of defeating the purpose, yes? :) And surrounded by granite even!
