This is a detail of one of the iron doors in Columbia. I liked the 'mechanics' and warm/cool contrast between the bricks and door panels.

Nice detail, with fine colors and shapes. I would be inclined to give it a little CCW rotation (level the metal bar left center) and I would crop off the right hinge (leaving a little black border next to the brick).

Yep, works for me. The right hinge tended to pull my eye out of the frame. Nice little semi-abstract.

Preston,
Very interesting photo.  I really like the age and unrefined steel.
