Green Door, detail [Contest Finalists January 2010]
Uploaded: January 06, 2010 07:00:04
POTD and Finalist
The paint on this door was so thick I couldn't help wondering how they were still able to close it :) On a friend's suggestion, I did a new crop and while I was at it, just a bit of editing to make the fancy knob pop and to take down the reflection. Category: Details and Macro
