Love this simple photo. With the leaf there, it made me think of a garden gate and spring, which I am ready for now :) I like how you used the line to cut off a 1/3 of the photo. I wish tho that the bolt was in focus because my attention is drawn more to the wood behind it.
My first thought was "beauty must be in the eye of the beholder" but on second look this really is beautiful, like an oil painting. The subject is not so beautiful, but I'd be happy to hang this photo on my wall.
Bit of settling occurred over time, eh? Give it another year and the ivy will cover both parts of the lock! Nice subject for this. Love the rust and weathered look; could use maybe a touch more DOF to get the right side lock part (uh, the slidey bit) in sharper focus.
love the simplicity & the irony of this image, the old decaying lock and the new vine leaf; tho to hit the true Wabi0Sabi definition, i think focusing on the lock & door alone would have nailed it..6
Some lovely texture in the weathered metal and wood. Composition doesn't really work for me and the intruding ivy doesn't contribute for me. I think a tighter study of the bolt and weathered wood might be stronger.
