Great shot. I can't understand why this didn't score higher. Terrific use of the diagonal lines - I like how the shadow parallels the wooden boards. And a really nice sharp silhouette - very intersting use of the lighting. Well done.

Very interesting, reminds me of Nosferatu.

With the people silhouetted, I end up spending more time looking at the wooden door.

I don't understand this... ?

to big of a gap between the light and dark area

Well captured and presented. Silhouette makes a strong statement against the left side of the photo.

Wow! Interesting use of the recognize anywhere profile of Hitchcock, great door and opening to the world beyond.

Good composition. Image feels very flat but I think I rather like it in this composition.

I like the detail in the wood and the shadow crossing the door which then shows how bright the colors behind it are.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 06:56:57 AM

Yes. That looks interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:59:04 PM
This is intereting. I like the framing. It's all very disorienting, makes you think hard about what's going on here and what this is about -- if anything.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:44:09 AM
Almost like a Hitchcock profile!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 07:27:45 AM
there's so much good stuff here to look at - great job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:58:50 AM
I might be nice if the two shadows were separated.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:46:14 AM
Beautiful shot, the silhouettes, colors, textures and the landscape you can see beyond the open door are magical.

Nice light and shadow contrast.

It looks like George Washington's profile in a fitting setting. Nicely done silhouette. You pulled out some excellent detail.

interesting image and composition, i like the light and the silhouettes
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:23:54 AM
This is a very interesting shot, I like the silhouettes the closed door and the view beyond the open door.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:17:38 AM
your silhouette looks like Hitchcock... The colors out the open door seem a bit overdone, I think this might be stronger if they were subdued a bit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:37:32 AM
Interesting shadows ... I want to stick my head out of the door to look around :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:26:24 AM
I;m puzzled by this. I'm guessing the shadow on the right is the main subject, in which case I'd suggest cropping off the open door, it's a little distracting IMO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:14:23 AM
almost looks like a collage; the combination of the man's slhouette and shadow, the door and wall, and the view to the outside has a somehow psychedelic effect that is emphasized by the slight tilt. Strange!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:55:52 PM
wow lots of textures!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:00:17 PM

Just to many shadows for me. I can see where you were going artistically but the bottom shadow takes away from that a bit. "A" for effort tho.
