A building on the river in Frankfurt. The staircase runs from one door to the other and no further, and the lower door is still WAY above the river. Curious.
Some neat moire effect going on. Processing was quite basic - crop and slight rotate, crop, crop, crop, curves, contrast, shadows(0)/highlights(14%), convert to sRGB, resize, add small black border. Did not sharpen because of the nifty moire effect.
Entered on behalf of Team Germany. Hoping for a miraculous 5.3! :-) I have a couple of other shots I prefer, but figure they'd score less than a 5.3. Will stick some of those in my portfolio if anyone is interested.

An excellent, tight, interesting arrangement of windows & doors - composition is enjoyable. I could not say if the physically unnatural, moire effect, causing the rototilled walls is in your file. If it is, the picture is remarkable.

That is one of the most bizarre set of doors I've ever seen. Love it! Are they really as "skinny" as they seem? Don't they have fat people in Germany? ROFL!
Wow, this did great for you, and you probably did choose the one that did better in voting! To be honest though, I like your outtake "sliding doors" better. But then everyone has different tastes, and the voting curve always reflects that.
Wow! Great shot and nice score! Don and I saw a fire escape with a door and a shadow and we thought it was a very melethia shot :) Unfortunately, nothing I could do to the photo would make it look like one of yours in the end. You really oughta write a tutorial or something. 'On Melethiality'
Good for you for beating your estimate! This is a cool capture. I love the wiggly effect the lines and textures have on the wall. I love the criss-crossing rails too. Great vibrant color too. Congrats on doing so well in the challenge!
Oh, well, Deb. I'm sorry you didn't get your 5.3. You'd think someone could've helped you out with the spectacular jaggies on the railing in addition to the moire. :) Congrats on top 15!
