The Golden Doors

great subject, but it's a little too dark for me. IMHO, you could've moved to the right a bit so that the doors are smack dab in the center. Unless, you had any other ideas on how to compose the shot.

Agreed, a lower angle would have also promoted the thoughts of how large these doors are.

rlarsen,

Is this lit at night? If not or if badly lit, you could do some creative flash work. Wide side positions, assistants helpful, to adjust lights quickly before police show up.

This is an early morning cloudy day. 30 minuets after this shot it was snowing heavily.

interesting subject! My thing is with shots like this I think they tend to work better if taken from a straight no centered view. The vertical lines in it lend to a symmetrical type of shot. A real wide angle lens and a low angle would also look neat. I like JC's idea to go back at night and light it.....even if you just go to sears or Home depot and get one of the huge flashlights and have someone hold it from behind you. Im not big on lighting but trying to experiment more and this looks like it would be a great subject to light up.
