Hi Lisa: A good example of this 'grunge' look that some photographers are doing today. Like the overall mood with the tarnished finish on the chrome door handle, and then the oxidized and peeling dark green paint. Composed well with the door handle on a slight diagonal to the upper right.   Posted: 01/11/2018 01:10:11



 
Hello Lisa, I like the detail in the handle. The green is interesting also. The only thing I can say is the vertical line on the right does draw my eye and distracts me from the rest of the photo.   Posted: 01/12/2018 18:37:12

Hi Lisa, Old or classic cars are fun to photograph. Particularly the small parts in the overall design. The surrounding area of the handle is interesting. I like the pitted surface of the handle itself. I'm thinking you may have flipped the photo. The chrome against the green is pleasing.   Posted: 01/19/2018 13:16:48



 
Hi Lisa. I like your "Car Door Handle" image. The silver handle against the weathered green paint pops. My only suggestion would be to lighten the right side of the image; I find the right side a bit dark compared to the left side. My eye tends to go towards the dark black spot at the bottom right. I'm not sure if cropping that out would work but that would be my only suggestion.   Posted: 01/21/2018 14:16:35



 
Lisa, Interesting lines and nice color. I like the blacks brought out in the door to give the grunge look. Not sure of the necessity of that little slice of green on the right. Might crop that unless it messes up the composition.   Posted: 01/26/2018 06:53:32



 
Old cars and trucks are really interesting photography subject. Your picture is well composed with lines and shapes. I suggest the distractive right side be removed.   Posted: 01/26/2018 17:29:13
