Very much meets the challenge. I think the angle/perspective serves it well - it's almost as though it's a child's view of a somewhat intimidating door.
Good symmetrical view. It has a little of that towering over feeling from a wide angle, but I think it works well with the door as the subject. Good detail in the shot and nice control of the exposure. Seems a to be slightly blue like the WB setting was set to Sun, when it was actually very cloudy out? Great shot for the challenge.
Not a DNMC from me but this shot is still not really as symmetrical as it could have been, the subject is perfect but the distortion in the steps kindof offsets it. I do like the tones in the shot and contrast is spot on, gave a 6.
I think the title would be more apt if the doors were not closed! I do like the photograph, but were the doors open and inviting the viewer in the photo would become more than a record shot.
