Great composition. I love the subtle blue in the image. The whole photo is so subdued and the subtle blue ironically makes the image pop so much. Great work.

  The step was once a loading dock, I suspect.

The wood textures of the door are amazing, but it’s that window which keeps catching my eye. Why is it your shots often remind me of scenes from movies? Maybe it’s because they make me want to know more of the story….your work leaves no doubt there’s a lot more of the story to be told.

  Maybe I’m old enough to have grown up with movies and as such that kind of visual is part of who I am? Or perhaps I have no clue, and shoot just from the hip (since I am hip). In any event, thanks for the peek and enchanting comment, Alex.

The individual pieces of wood that make up the door remind me hardwood flooring planks. Fantastic find.
