I see your point, but the white sky isn?t disturbing me at all, on the contrary it adds a great contrast with the darkness in the old building and fits very well with the strong light coming from the door, also the tilted door adds a ?abandonment? feeling to the image. Bye, Max

I like this image a lot. I conveys a mood of desplation. But, I do agree with the comments of Jonathon Charles.

Jonathan,
Thanks for your very useful tip. I will have to try the double scan technique. Unfortunately I don?t own a film scanner, I just get the lab to scan the slide at processing time. Another reason to invest in one myself!
Although I?m generally an advocate of the "au naturel" school, I agree that perhaps in this case some PS work might be beneficial. If I have some time I will play around and maybe repost..
Regards
Omar

Dramatic composition evoking the existential pain of comparing the depressing dark inner space with the bright living world apparently waiting outside and breaking in with a shaft of sunlight so it can't be ignored.
The only (minor) changes i would suggest are straightening up the doorway and cloning out the straight pole outside (ideally substituting a bird or 2 flying past !)
Best wishes, Jonathan
PS (the sky problem): if you make 2 scans, one darker and one lighter and put them on 2 layers you can use a high contrast copy of the image as a mask to show the darker scan in the highlight areas and the lighter scan in the shadow areas - keeping the details and colours through the whole dynamic range.

Nice shot Omar.
I like how you placed this old door on the left side of the image and the light comming through it like a line directed towards the right lower corner of the image.
Also framing a tree in the background with the door is very artistic.
Good work my friend,
Khaled.

Well spotted, and quite melancholic to tell you the truth. But I like the feelings coming from it. Nice job.

I would've loved to have seen it in full form. The idea and the composition is spot on though.
Thankyou so much my sweet friend for your comment. I love reading your words.
Judi
