At first it appears very ordinary and then one notices how small the door is compared to the windows – almost like something Alice would have to open. And it is so very white in relation to the dark house. The whole image starts seeming surreal the more one examines it. Effective image Grant!

something really strange here...looks a small place and then suddenly you notice the tiny door and the whole thing flips in your head until it re-settles as a larger structure.

That's a strange looking door alright. Placed just right in the image.

A fine structure in nice deep colors which you handle very considerable expertise. A strong picture!

i feel like the lacking of two steps...
the ground floor (in the house) looks higher than the outside sidewalk, cool door!

Nice white door and gigantic windows. Very stately.

haha, this is not the main entrance, isn't it?! The upper windows are very interesting too. Nice find.

@Lucca: no, the front door is around to the left, i think.

I love how you have shot this, Grant, and I'm drooling over these tones :)
That door is so odd, it seems it can't be possible. Excellent shot.

the door caught my eye too - but beyond this i love how still this image feels.

I like the overall darkness of this shot Grant! (Think I might try 1 stop under now and then.)

At first this picture looks black and white until I looked closer and saw the green in the house. Nice shot!

Man that door is WHITE! This image has a huge tonal range. Great job.

Agree with above. That door looks so out of place.

I'm guessing it goes to the basement?

@sherri: that makes sense, but your guess is as good as mine.

Me ha llamado mucho la atencion el desaturado de la casa bien contrastado, buen encuadre y compo.
Saludos.

I liked daina's comment (as usual). This photo seems quite severe, moreso than others, perhaps because the lines are so sharp whereas your "usual" places are sprawling about in slow decay.

@GJC: i think the difference has to do with the place, but also the camera. i almost always use a fairly wide angle lens. this camera is new to me and i'm not using a wide lens with it.

wow -- so square!! (the house) :) love how the road and the telephone lines trim the photo diagonally on the left side of the frame -- wonderful eye motion!!!
