This is my front door. The door and decoration are as shot, everything else is rendered in B&W. The 173 was selected and brightened and contrast was increased to make it stand out better. Cropped and borders placed around it and that was it.

The selective de-saturation adds impact to the fake look of the brick-work, especially with the faux-georgian/palladian pediment on the doorway. The cheesy garland just re-inforces that impact. The overly-perfect bpointing, allied to the overly clean lines and maintenance of the scene speak of an obsession with appearance to the exclusion of historical accuracy, or perhaps a simple ignorance of it. Affecting shot, in those senses; lacking in a sense of contrast - nothing to re0inforce that message, or to make your real message clear if my assessment is wrong.
