Framing studies

Various shots; I'm more towards the ones that look just at the details but I'm curious to see what others are thinking

My pick is the third one. The strange shadow at the bottom of the door makes it feel as if something ominous is lurking on the other side, giving added emphasis to the warning on the floor.

As one who likes photographs of details, I find that #1 is too simple, too symmetric, and the details do not seem to be that interesting. On the other hand, #2 is fascinating. The lighting, colors and paint details are lovely. In addition it leaves an unresolvable question, why are there handles on a door that should not be opened from this side.

The third one is too sparse but appears to be some kind of joke; why have a door that can't be used?

The last one seems to be too complete. Also, its lighting is too harsh.

If these were mine, I would hang #2 and keep #3 up for a while to determine its staying power.

My choice is number 2 - it has the appearance of an illustration.

It would be a great page in a picture book that fits into a story.

Lovely image.

I really think 2 is very good.

I'd also go with #2. I think #4 tries to crowd too much in and #1 lacks interest. #3 does have something going for it.

Don't want to jump your thread, but it reminded me of this:
