Reminds me a little of the last one you posted with the wooden door and the textured beige wall. Are you exploring a new direction?

Beautiful geometric composition.

Beautiful geometric composition.
I certainly agree with Eric about the geometric aspects to this image.
The door frame, the door itself and its construction, the wall with its breeze-block construction, the repeating pattern in the floor boards, and finally the hay bales - all geometric.
And then there is the amorphous shadow making up the left edge of the image - intrigues the hell out of me!

In the best way possible, this image reminds of a conjurers trick, where one's gaze is directed toward the obvious until the conjurer is ready to dazzle everyone with his illusion.

I don't reckon that I have "got" this image yet, but I promise you I will be back...

I wonder if the sliver of light was needed.
Beautiful structures otherwise.

I chuckled when I realized the image itself was
a rectangle, as well as the contents.

Regards,

Thanks all. I suspect you all do the same thing I do: when I'm out, my head is constantly throwing frames around things. If I see a frame I like, I raise the camera and shoot. This particular frame was in a Leesburg, FL feed store.

Tony, I don't remember what was casting that shadow. Next time I'm over there I'll check.

Bob, no, my favorite thing still is street, but I'm in a situation nowadays where I rarely can do it. I look forward to our trips to St. Augustine because St. George street is one of the greatest places in the world for street shooting. In the meantime I just look. "Photographing is nothing. Looking is everything."

And Armand, enough of the door to show the source of the light was a necessary part of the frame.
