Wonderfully mysterious Brian, your light capture and shadow play on the building add drama. Who or what lies behind the door? I like the soft colours very much. Best regards Rosemary

Hello Brian!
I'm always embarrassed when these "mixed" style, I see buildings. Téglaépítészet the English mixed with the "eastern" form-world. And what a surprise: this thing work, not interfering, and harmonious.
In this respect, I love England. Both conservative and modern. The photo is good. Stands out from the darkness at the door. Nice detail.
Sincerely,
Csaba

I saw this one earlier on and was struck by the spooky mood, the stark shadows and strong light. Powerful image. I almost expect Nosferatu to appear from behind the shadows. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Brian,
one more fantastic capture from that unusual for England architecture. This one is less impressive but the detail is very pretty as well. The light is attractive too with so much shadows all around, they create a very unusual atmosphere.
Very well done,
M

its original design is strange, and in this shadow situation it looks like the door toward the unknown magical space

Hi Brian,

I love this shot, a little worrying, an image from an horror movie.
Your PP is excellent, it enhances every pixel.
You very well exploited this moonlight and made something original with a great atmosphere. I like very much.

Hello Brian,

the light on the door is really extraordinary and gives the door mysterious appeal, I wonder what time of the day the picture was taken.
Really beautiful.

Best regards
