The way you used another door with the red cross to frame the scene in the distance made your image different than the norm. I have visited this place twice in the past, and this image still gives me a lot of surprise. I'd prefer to crop the image in square format to eliminate the 2 metal door frames in the foreground to make the viewers focus more on the scene beyond the red cross.   Posted: 08/03/2019 08:58:42
Technically very well done. Great light, lines, texture and depth of field. I would prefer to see it cropped a little below the circle. The bottom part of the photo holds little interest for me, and I would prefer to spend my time looking at the fascinating details through the foreground circle.   Posted: 08/04/2019 11:35:31

Wonderful details and textures. I really like the framing and agree with the comments above that a square format would be good. The patch of light with the small cross in the top center adds interest. I'm glad you included it.   Posted: 08/08/2019 06:30:38

Hi Mary Sue
What a great spot a lot of people would have walked past this and wow have you produced a stunning image from it f22 has given you the sharpness from back to front this image needed,yes the square crop looks good but for me your original composition gives a sense of scale and a really good lead in and the crack on the floor is almost like an arrowhead taking the eye through the picture.Whichever a brilliant image.   Posted: 08/10/2019 14:21:59

I like how the cross in the door frames my view of the hallway and interior. Including some of the walls lets me see their rough texture. I agree that a square cropping allow me to focus on the elements within the circle which are so interesting. It looks like a fascinating place to visit.   Posted: 08/13/2019 14:09:43

Very nice capture... I have been to that place once, but it was very dark and spooky. A Halloween evening event. This looks like a much better way to see it and to appreciate the details that you have captured here. I do like the square crop, but I do feel there is some symmetry in your original crop with the long path to the next set of bars, and another long path to the next set of bars... etc.

I am all about symmetry, leading lines and vanishing point. The way you stacked the geometry in this photo is great. While the bottom portion of the image does create a bit of negative space and I can see the benefit of cropping, I believe that portion of the image creates a sense of environment that isn't present in a cropped version. The full image makes me feel like I'm standing at the gate looking in.   Posted: 08/29/2019 20:11:30
