Here you go Chris

I would of liked some texture above the door. About the same size as the bricks on the left of the door. Ballance
It would also be interesting to see what it would look like with only half of the door using the middle horizontal bar ar the top of the picture..

Just MHO

@Johnny,
I agree, I should have taken another step back to get that space above the door. Unfortunately, this square crop was only removing the left and right space, so I didn't have anything above to leave in! Doh!
As for your second comment, do you mean cropped in tighter so that the middle lines of the door form the upper left corner of the frame? When I looked at it just now it seemed interesting, and might really reinforce the square format. I might just play around with re-cropping this tonight.

Thanks so much for the critique! See? It's that easy!

*psst* rotate camera - do it again, start over. :) I actually like the square crop, but can't say if it would be better with brick showing over the door or not. Apparently my imagination is failing me.

Nice Chris, the 'rework' around the door gives it a border of a vintage photograph.

Haha, it's only about 3 blocks from where I live, maybe I'll just walk over and retake it in the next day or so. Maybe I'll get up really early tomorrow and get it with some early morning light so there's at least something different about it. =)
