Always a beautiful play of light and shade, the composition is always interesting because even in shade one guesses the structure of the door, a really interesting picture. well considering.

I always adored all old which has born test by time. It is an excellent shot, I well see structure of this door and it is pleasant to me as shadows fall. I love symbolism and I present, that this shadow divides the world into two half, light and dark. Well done

There is an huge contrast between the part exposed with the light of the sun and the other part in the shadow. What is very well here is that there is nothing overexposed and nothing black! Very nice and artisitic shot, Ayman!

Wonderful game with the light here Ayman. Beautiful change of the different shades of brown on the door, the lighted and the dark side!
Very nice composition.
Well done!

L'image a ici de trés bonnes figures geometrique mise en valeur sur cette photo je pense que cela a été votre but. Les effets des ombres et des lumieres sont superbes et lmes détails bien rendus. Bravo Ayman

I'm a big fan of old doors, especially when they're combined with use of sunlight like you did here. Fantastic composition and great use of light/shadow.

Simple and beautifull photo. The opened door and the dinamic diagonal shadow are like an invitation to pass through it.

Also like the details very much has they show clearly the origin and could not mistaked with other parts of the world.
