I like your perspective here Jeff shooting through the partially open door creating a sense of anticipation in the mind of the viewer as to what lies beyond the iron doors and the brickwork wall. The vivid hues of the elements that make up the picture and the sense of texturing (especially from the brickwork wall) adds to the visual impact of the picture.

Good interesting foreground subject and viewpoint.;-)

The great depth of field helps to create an 'trompe d'oeil' which makes you take a second look. Nice colours & sharpness, too. Maybe due to Fuji's honeycombe CCD technology? Nice detail throughout the gamut, including the blossoms in the background.

Very nice, tells a story, we want to step through the door to see more.

Nice. Made me think of Citizen Kane when I first opened the photo
(infinite, continuous focus through the door). That fuji does a nice
job. I guess the guy behind the camera had some influence too...

Beautiful series about the Old Shasta ruins, Jeff... :)
This seems a frame of a virtual visit to them, as Ellen also says.

Unfortunately although this photo has a normal composition but technically is not sufficient. At the right side of picture there is a distortion. But at the left side there is not. This is really funny. I think left side was cropped.

There is no crop on the left side. Some tilt on the right that I can live with if I choose to
enlarge and frame. Doubtful. Without a post processing program to straighten out
everything that should be straight or parallel with the edge of the frame this is very common
with the majority of lenses.
