    That looks like the door knocker in A Christmas Carol

    BTW, did you know that you got a mention in Joders’ fanfiction? Or at least your little blue pills did.

    Cool, can you hook me up with the addy?

    It does look like it might wake up and growl at you.

    I like the angle, Stevo. Would a full front view have lost the detail?

    Shawn: Maybe. I was trying to be artistic.

  5. Theresa UNITED STATES Says:

    I love pictures of doors and little door-related details. They seem to imply opportunity of some sort.

    This made me think of Venice and all the little architectural details with lions there.

    It was not a critique, dear man, just an honest question. I might want to take a decent photo some day.

    Shawn: Critiques are welcome. Full frontal is boring, although yes, the detail would have been better.

    Marianne: There’s lions in Venice? There’s so much I don’t know.

    Theresa: Thanks. I have a thing for open doors…
