Not the most inspiring subject, the mid-day sun is a difficult light source. Maybe if you had cropped out the dirty brick walls and filled the frame with the door.

Hmmmm, I'm not connecting with this shot, it just comes across as a doorway, nothing more to grab me - sorry

ineresting doors, I think the bricks are kinda ugly though... if it were mine I would crop to the edges of the door frame and a slightly rotate to the right. a good suject though.

Nice use of lyrical inspiration! It looks slightly tilted. I like the different textures and patterns here, but I think a bit more contrast would give it some more punch.
