This is really nice. I like the color tone and the depth of field. My eyes are led straight to the door. If I didn't know that it was taken at a dam, then my imagination would have to wonder what's on the other side. Mysterious and kind of dark, this is a great attention grabber. Thanks for sharing.

Colors are fantastic, and I love the subject.

I like it in multitudes.

Hmmmm...
The composition is simply perfect..!!
Nice job.
But I think there's a scope of improvement in the exposure..! The sorroundings are a bit too dark for my lighting, but maybe you like it this way.
And the White Balance also needs to be retouched a bit.
Was this hand held..?
Go again, with a tripod and see the beauty!!

Default tripod

this was done with a tripod, just that the light was very intense. I would like to know if there is a way to reduce the glare from the light. I wish who ever design the lighting would have lit it from below instead of against the wall. oh well I guess it is there for utility not art.

I just checked out the original size. I wood have thought it had been shot hand held. Looks like it was really windy, or you moved the camera when you pressed the shutter.

Hope you don't mind. I was just playing around with your shot a little. I'll delete it if there's any worries.

I've sharpened it up some, and tried to bring out more detail. I did loose some of the killer color the original had thou.
