I kept coming back to this image which initially I had ranked lower. The color and textures are captivating and I love the way the door is framed within the space around it, giving it just the right amount of context. I wouldn't change anything; well done!

The door is well framed in context; The green ivy complements the weathered green door perfectly. My eye moves around the entire image and I want to peak through that broken window. The viewer, in a good way, is left wondering about the history of this door. Love it!

A fairy-tale quality comes to mind when I see this door which you so nicely framed within its setting. The door is exposed just enough now but I imagine it getting further buried behind all the vegetation. The viewer, in a good way, is left wondering about the history of this door. Nicely done!

Just the right amount of natural lighting and detail on the door and sand. The story of this door's demise is in the image and speaks emotionally to the viewer. Nicely framed with perfect balance between the walls, door, and sand creating interesting lines. Well done!

I kept coming back to this image which I initially had ranked lower; I love the uniqueness of the arch, the broken glass, and the ivy going both inside, outside and through the doorway. The viewer, in a good way, is left wondering about the history of this door. Well framed and captivating!
