A good looking image posted here into the competition, together with fascinating notes! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that venerable door. Like the historical images and notes. Well done and good luck!

Very cool capture. Shame that it was on a cell phone.
It's a great idea with unfortunately suffer from lack of details and sharpness.
I would defiantly try to re shoot it now that you own it. Love the idea and the vintage approach.

Your ability to capture unique works is inspiring! The framing works beautifully, and the blend of light and shadows makes this shot stand out. Thanks for sharing!

A very interesting and decorative piece you've presented here. Composition shades, and presentation is extremely well done. Good luck in the contest.

A very interesting repurposed door for sure. The Cracker Barrel has always been a great place for unusual gifts and things you don't find anywhere else and I'd say you got a really good one.
This looks like a great entry for the contest.Best of luck

This is the most beautiful door I have seen. You took an ordinary door and turned it into treasure. This is so amazing. Wonderful job, thank you for sharing!

    Thank you so much Devonte! I noticed and purchased the door but the restaurant's style was this way, updated old things to display as decoration. I reacted just as you when I saw it and they said it was for sale. It was not even expensive and it's so beautiful.

i used to live in worked in the Nashville, Tn area..did you know the original and very 1st cracker barrel is there in Lebanon, Tn outside of nashville..when i was there they had arcade and fed ex attached to shop area before you go into the dining area..i been aware of there business(they are all over the south) and eating there over the years so nowdays i just dont get excited seeing them..to me it like driving by Mcdonalds..only a lot more money..lol..nice capture. the clarity is good. the capture of the light is good. the angle of the shot of the frame door is good. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and good job overall

    Thank you so much! That's very cool. I didn't know. We used to go often but we haven't in a while. They had such cool stuff here. I understand what you mean though.

The old door indeed makes a very unique frame for the three photos you have displayed.
Years ago I purchased an old window and basically did the same thing with it, only I printed one photo extra large and put it in , the window had six panes .
Well captured to allow a good sense of this while giving new purpose to the old door.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, nice detail in the worn paint.
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
