I'm a-door-ing (that was really bad) your series. I like the varying textures in #2, and how the blue door stands out in #3.

I love the simplicity of these images - very well done. I also like the "look" of these pictures...not sure what is but they just appeal to me

I love these! I'm a big fan of doors, stairways and windows.

Do you mind sharing what the light was for these that you were able to capture such great textures? I'm still learning about lighting, so knowing what worked well for others helps inspire me. Thanks!

Break on thru to the other side!
I love the first one! The placement, color and angle you chose on it are brilliant

Firstly. Thanks for all the great feedback. It is great motivation, I'm still learning!
For the light:
It was natural sunlight between 16:00 and 18:00
All the photo`s was taken with the sun at my back (and some places slightly from
the left) without a fill flash.
But...I use RAW so i was able to bring the textures out with a bit of PP
(hope not its wrong, some people prefer the untouched photos)
