This picture was taking in our office building. People going out to door are my co-workers. I took a few snaps with them and without them. I like this one the best because I can\'t tell if I was trying to take their pictures, the painting on the wall or the little tree. Confusing, yet should be a challenging challenge (!) photo :)

Exposure, color, saturation, hue, and contrast are all good. Focus and depth of field, are a bit soft. Were you going for a soft focus effect. A smaller f-stop will get you more depth of field. The area in best focus appears to be just inside the door, near the base of the plant. From there it gets softer especially as you rise up the walls.
This challenge has proven a bit difficult to critique because the challenge was understood in so many different ways by different people.
Without having seen your other pictures, I think that a picture with the door open, and without people, might have worked a bit better.
What you've done is create competing elements that vie for the title of subject. A photo that guides the eye around the frame, so as to become and endless loop, might be a better idea.
Excellent shot. I've commented on some of the others that I thought putting a person in the shot had created a subject, but I think you've actually managed to do that here without making him the subject. Impressive job.
