Congratulations on the well deserved win. What an interesting door! Love the tree its angles pull the eye right into the cool door. Great focus, clarity and lighting.

CONGRATULATIONS on your door win. Excellent photograph in all aspects.

May I ask the name and place of this hotel? I would like to have it because it sounds like a place I would like to visit and stay at too.

Thanks so much for sharing. AND AGAIN....BRAVO and congrats to you.

This looks like Italy or France. Regardless of its location, the photo is alluring, very well composed, and memorable. You have an eye for good design!

What an interesting door. The branch next to it adds character to the shot. Did you add that or was it already there? Your lighting is excellent, focus is sharp. Nicely framed within the shot. Thanks for sharing.

I love everything about this! The vintage style, the lighting, the details and your POV.
It indeed is a very SPECIAL door rich with history and beauty.
Like the mood of this..I can stare at it and my mind wonders with stories.
Fine work!

This is a very beautiful photograph. I appreciate your artist notes. They clarify what you have done to bring out the true beauty of this historic door. Your editing skills are discreet and take little away from the true historic feel of this scene. Was the photo painted on the door or etched into it or both? I wonder how it looked without any editing. I love the colors in this photo and the shapes and shadows of course, are well composed by you. The framing is perfect as well. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you so very much for the lovely review Becky. The head of the woman was painted on the door, and the original photo looks very much the same. I just added poster lines to the painting part to make it stand out even better.

Great save the painting and carving on the door make it well worth saving, is the tree branch always there or was it for photographic purposes. The maple leaf carved in to the door makes one think of Canada.

    Thank you so very much for the lovely review, and the branch was always there. I see what you mean by maple leaf, but this photo was taken in Greece.

    Maybe a Canadian moved.

Love what you've done here. You've brought many elements together to provide an outstanding viewing. The door by itself is just an amazing piece craftsmanship. Composition, lighting, focus and DOF are great
