This is fabulous

Lovely crop, wonderful tones, great exposure. Intriguing title - I feel the absence of the person that has just left the doorway. Doorways are of course portals to another world...I wonder where this leads.

thanks

I have to say you that the real title is self-portrait, but I found it too dramatic.. I'm a musician in my real li

thanks

I have to say you that the real title is self-portrait, but I found it too dramatic.. I'm a musician in my real life and I yet write too much dramatic music!!

National Geographic

There is something about your photo that reminds me of National Geographic. Very nice exposure.

Isolated

Daniele did you actually wait for the rising or waining sun to make this image? I, too, find the image interesting--despite the paucity of of other visual references.

about light

well, the shot was made in aix en provence in the month of august at 14.00 o'clock I remember. But but it is not made in open space, it is a door in a palace with a courtyard, so the light was all reflected in the space and not direct. In fact, as I wrote in the adjustmens, I had to correct a bit the light inside the door.

inside light

Your compensation was done, nicely.

wonderful light

this just glows, fantastic study of light and shadows

I like the colors and the "gradient" of light from bottom to top. Maybe I noticed that because it is a very simple subject with nothing to distract my eye. I defnitely spent more time enjoying the details of this image. Kevin

portrait

I must admit, the first image that went through my mind was as if entering the final tomb entrance ina pyramid....fit for King Tut himself......a picture worth a thousand words but space prohibits it! again, a superb image!

Calendar

I love this picture; however, for the calendar competition, how in the world could you crop it to fit a landscape format page? You'd only have a third of the image left.

you're right

I didn't understand it could become only one third of the original one but I think now is maybe too late to substitute it. What can I do?
