Splendid composition.

Exactly. Lovely shot.

Thanks. I did think about off-setting the door to the right a bit, but I wanted the eye drawn forward through the door, and having the door more or less central seemed to achieve that.

And thanks for the positive comments everyone

Oh come on, Eric: how much like a wardrobe does it look?

I know the wardrobe was the first way in, but I thought I remembered that there were eventually one or two other portals. I'll have to redo my research.

Maybe the Secret Garden is more like it.

Very nice photo, Bill.

Let me know, and if I'm wrong, I'll retract!

Gentlemen, gentlemen, PLEASE! I am afraid that your confrontation about the beginning of Narnia might have the same ending:
