Blue door by rhoing

Blue door

A University building at the edge of campus. It was tempting to post the image with everything B&W except the door, but the door and sky help each other, yeah? I really like how the shadow of the tree continues onto the two different levels of the roofs, center and right...
Hey, at least it's not a flower! ;)

2023 edit. Alas, this building is no longer standing; campus beautification and clean-up…
Nice shot. I like the vivid blue in sky and door.

I like how the door is framed by the tree and its shadow.

@angelique Thank you, Angelique!!
@sharkeyshark Thank you, Lindsey! That's what I realized after I took the second frame; then I needed just one more. It turned out to serve a dual purpose: tree & shadow frame the door, but the tree hides a tacky sign on the house to the left of the door! It worked out very, very well. :)

Great shot, Thom! Really like the blue door in contrast to the white! The reflection of the tree is fantastic! As you know, I would LOVE to see this in B&W!!

Great shot and I think it is perfect in color. The blue door really pops against the white building. I also like how the trees frame the front door.

@exposure4u Thank you, Wendy ... and of course you would!!! ;)
@jendee3 Thank you, Jen! I think it's better in color, too. Now if I could have selected the door *and all of the sky* to B&W everything else... Well, that's a bit of Photoshop magic I don't know how to do. Perhaps fortunately!

Loving the blues & the massive shadow of the tree on the house, Thom!

@oneinodd Thanks, Lisa! I've had my eye on this building for a late-in-the-day shadow-shot for several weeks!

Nice shot Thom, and I like how the door does stand out like that, and of course the shadowing is great too.

Looks gorgeous Thom.. I think the contrast is perfect, so glad you left the sky in colour.

@digitalrn @michelleyoung Thank you, Rick and “Queen of Water”! I’ve known I wanted to take this shot — it’s on my way home from the gym — and it turned out even better than I expected. :)

@michelleyoung Thanks for your kind comment about this one. I'm afraid that nickname of yours will stick ... at least with me! ;)

@rhoing Thom you are so welcome.. As for the name,... There are far worse things to be called ;o)

The sky matches the door just perfectly! Just love the shadow of the tree on the house - wonderfully done,Thom!
