First off, I like the image, especially the way you have brought out the structure and textures of the stones. The use of contrast to enhance the light is also very good. I thought this would have made a good B&W image in its own right, but I tried it and it does not work well. The use of colour on the door brings it out and contrasts it, lifting the image into something special, which does not happen in the B&W image (I tried it) as, as the door is quite dark and a little dull. I should say that I love pure B&W photography and I would like to see some real B&W photography of yours, as you seem to have a talent for it.

Nice work. :o)

And but of course, thank you for sharing your creativity with us. :o)


Edit: Suggested title ... "The Scarlet Door".

Alllll creepy and suggestive ... and and .. and .. stuff. Particularly on the 'stuff' front.

I ... er, think?


/\ Just kidding a bit. Lol.

I agree, titles are often much harder! I like this very much. Although it is one that I can't fully express. : ) Definitely makes me wonder what is behind as well as around it. I like the textures and especially the lock and chain. Nice work!

Knock! knock!! who is there!?
Nice manip.Nadia, wonderful creation!!!

Awesome shot Nadia. I'm thinking an even more esoteric title might work better, my thinking being that the image it's self has so much evocation and implication in it, all that texture, age, hiddeness and immutability, a title to leave that more open to work on the subconscious perhaps. Hidden Tears. Hopeless. Shroud. The Old Ways. It's fun to try to come up with one!

This photo is just dripping with pathos. I love the darkness inherent and that deep red of the door, plus the contrast, not only in the color, but the textures of the coarse stones and the smooth door. You don't have to settle for the 68 c-index I'm seeing here. Think of it more in the 80's. It certainly deserves it. Into my favorites.

Very, very intriguing, yet powerful enough to make me want to quickly run away. The fallen leaf(?) under the door seems to add even more of a mysterious feel.
Thanks for sharing!

I like the use of spot color especially when do so effectively as here. Good comp to start with and nice detail in the B&W surroundings.

Very cool, now I;m wondering what's behind the door?

hey im kind of new on this website and this was the first pic tht caught my eye i think youve done an amazing job and i hope u put up more soon

Very fascinating picture... the colour door in the black and white photo. Gives the photo a real sense of suspense... "and what happened next?" Love it!

I love this, B&W with the color is an awesome combo for this subject...

Keep at it!

This is extraordinarily beautiful!! A fabulous image Nadia!!!
