Red for stop or green for go? This is the last door from my recent trip to the ruins. I'll be heading back there soon though. This safari's theme was doors and windows - next maybe metal and rust. ;)
Feedback welcome!

Another good image from the series, Ruth - another in a possbile exhibition theme? Well spotted with the symbolism of the colours, and I like their vividness cointrasted with the muted browns. The presence of the other colour on each door, and the traces of both colours elsewhere in the scene tie it all together subtly. Visually rich image, very enjoyable for me.
Thanks Chris! I was pleased when I stumbled across these. I wish I knew the story behind them. Thanks for the thumbs up.
Wonderful find Ruth, I echo Chris's comments.
Have you tried converting to B&W, and/or apply a vintage touch to this? I think this is one of those images that may work well over a variety of versions, and perhaps look well presented as a series.
As it is the image has a nice pop to it and would draw attention to any wall.
Hi Alan,. I don't know about the black/white or vintage but I'm always open to trying something! I think it was the red/green combo that really did it for me but .... Let's see. Here's a high contrast B/W and a sort of faded vintage-style one. What do you think?
I think I like the faded/vintage styled one best.
I love 'group brain'! Thanks for the feedback!
This is cool. I like colorful doors. I think I have a couple I'll post.
Thank Gary! We love old buildings here so looking forward to it!
Hi Ruth. Among all the 3 images, liked image 1 with colours. announcing about its rich past. a little more ground would have added to the negative space in composition? purely from composition point of view, the red colours of shrubs at the right could also be faded.
I find the suggestion interesting for giving it vintage look.
Thanks Vijay! This is a fun one. And it is close by so I can try your suggestions. :)
Only like the first one, Ruth! The mono loses a whole lot of what the image is about, while for me the subdued colour just looks sort of anaemic. I was thinking of a desaturated version, but preserving all the colours, albeit toned-down. Here's one idea - just a bit less intense, and warmed up a bit as I like the grasses at right complementing the doors' form and colours (I've selectively edited red and green hues, and shifted white balance toward yellow).
