Had an opportunity today to shoot this. C&C? I can adjust the crop significantly if needed.

    #1 totally rocks! It has so much character. Interesting choice of post-processing, I think it works so well here.

    Allen and Karin, thank you for your comments. I agree the pp for whatever reason really works here.

    Any title suggestions? I was thinking of "Waiting" but since Alison already used it for her title, I really don't want to use that.

    #1 does it for me to. How about 'arriving'.

    Color's better. I might make it slightly less grainy though.

    Yes the first has a lot more impact - but (like other comments on other pictures), is the theme of the pictures "windows or doors"?

    Processing?
    Brian, Would you outline your processing technique on the color version? It is very striking.

    I love that picture (#1), It's very striking, and I like the symmetry of the doors and the interest of the statue off to one side.

    Like Jerry said, this says more 'train station' or 'cool architecture' or 'statue' than doors to me, but it's so well executed that I don't really think it matters.
