The Vault

Camera Pentax K10D
Exposure 0.7
Aperture f/13.0
Focal Length 45 mm
ISO Speed 100

I wanted to capture this because this vault door is really pretty. I like the circular handle and the raised metal letters above it.

I did not realize I was in the shot until I went back and started the PP. Kind of stinks because I doubt I can take this shot again anytime soon. I tried correcting the bend from the lens but if I went any further, I think I lost the circles from the dial and the handle.

I want to submit this picture (well, one without me in the picture) in a competition for Industrial form and function. Is it worth the submission price?

Also, what about the exposure and composition.

Also, it feels as if my white balance is off. Everything feels a little yellow. But then again, my camera leans towards the yellow.

As always, thanks for the advice.
