Hello Greg,

I love gates and stone work. Your POV is very good and the low light really ads some mood. Great find! TFS

Hi Greg

I like the symmetry of the arched window & its repeated grate shape. Well framed. The tight cropping suits perfectly.

Interesting shot, Greg. I like your placement of the gate in the composition, with the darkness to the left. It's hard to expose correctly for this kind of light scenario, with the bright lighting situation above the gate. It's a good attempt, in that you've given us the vines and textures of the wall that we would have missed otherwise.

I'm glad you didn't try to walk through the gate! :)

Greg,

the lighting on this is rather nice. I marticularly like the magenta/violet fringing round the top of the entrance. It gives a mysterious hint about what is on the other side.

How was the fringing achieved? I am guessing that the brightness was an action of some type, but the fringing seems to be a different process... perhaps natural?

Nice shot Greg ... And an even better PP done to depict light coming from the opening above the gate! Give it a nice feeling :)
