The Red Door
This is a splintering, old red door on a ranch in rural Texas. I’m not sure what’s behind that locked door, but I’m kind of curious…
The Red Door belongs to the following groups:
Architectural Photography, Dilapidated Buildings, Natural Textures and Ruins, Ancient and Derelict Buildings Available for sale asGreeting Cards

Thank you, Miron! That strong Texas light was very helpful in pulling out a lot of detail.

The pattern of the textures and the simple colouring here really make this a really intriguing image, Felicia!
I really like it!
Well done!
=)
Felicia Moore replied
Thank you, ElRobbo! Here’s a quote I’ve just recently come across that may interest you:
“What’s really important is to simplify. The work of most photographers would be improved immensely if they could do one thing: get rid of the extraneous. If you strive for simplicity, you are more likely to reach the viewer.”
-William Albert Allard

so inspiring
ElRobbo
The mantra of the minimalist!
I guess I aspire to that approach, where I can – however I think there is a place for the ‘extraneous’, though!
I’ve never been to art or photography school, but I can think of some (presumably) famous art pieces that shine by virtue of their extraneous detail – the viewer delights in discovering new and interesting parts as they scan and unfold the piece!
Buggered if I know their names, though!
=)
Thank you for your insightful responses, Felicia!
It’s good to maintain these thoughts!
I think I might be an ‘extraneous’!
=)
Felicia Moore replied
Thank you for this thoughtful response, ElRobbo. I don’t really think there is a singular approach to anything, though some things work better by general rule. Life would probably be very boring if we didn’t have the ‘extraneous’ to to work in conrast to simplicity. Keep doing what you’re doing. I like it!
Teresa Schultz
a super image and great composition!
Felicia Moore replied
Thank you so much, Teresa!
ElRobbo
Aww, shucks!
Thanks Theresa – and I extend similar sentiments to you ;o)
Marguerite Foxon
I like this a lot Felicia. It reminds me of similar doors I have seen in rural Georgia. the touch of red is wonderful. Great photo!
Felicia Moore replied
Thank you so much, Marguerite! The South is a great place to go exploring because there remain so many places that have been left untouched. I spent most of my youth in the South & most of my family still lives there. Every time I go for visits, there are always new things to discover!
dominiquelandau
such a beautiful close up!
SNik
most appealing capture! must be some family treasures
Felicia Moore replied
Thank you SNik. I think the treasure may be the door, itself, though.
Peter Evans

Then I hope it continues :-)
