Neat subject. I like the colors. It seems like the image is leaning slightly to the right -- I'm not sure if it's just me. i think I'd have preferred to have the top arch not cut off, but that's pretty minor.

Nice textures on the door. Is it an optical illusion, or is it really leaning to the right? The top part looks like it is not vertical. It looks like you have framed this very tightly - I wonder if it would be better if I could see more of the edges. Since it's not quite an abstract shot, maybe my brain just wants to know the context of what is surrounding the door. The only other thing I wanted to mention is that the upper left part of the arch is blurry. I don't know why it's just that part, though.

I can't figure out if it's tilted or not either, i thought i corrected it in lightroom, I may not have. I think the edges are blurry because i took this photo at f1.8 and focused on the center of the door.

Did you play with the saturation? It looks overly red to me.
