shut (#2)
by Arn

I've done this before...

but I think a newer image is in order for this challenge.
There's just something about these old, decayed, shut doors that speak to me...

Canon EOS 20D
1/50s f/4.0 at 40.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Amazing! I guess this was a "style" for the region. I posted my similar door in the Samples gallery. Yours shows more character and wear than mine :-). Helen

Helen, the shot was taken in Tallin, capital of Estonia. It's about 2000km up north of Praque. Geographically speaking, your suggestion was not that far off! :)

Arn, The central symmetry works well. I also like the contrast between the old wood and the padlock, and the wood texture. Jesus

I like the symmetry of this, Arn, and the obvious wear you captured so well on the door. I don't know where you took this, but it reminds me quite strongly of a door I photographed in Prague. Nice shot! Helen
