I LOVE the lighting. I love how the top half of the shot is cold and hard and univiting, but then the bottom is warm and open and inviting. It's a wonderful contradiction and I think much story could be read into. It really is a fabulous shot. Pat yourself on the back! ~ Lonnit

i have mixed feelings about whether it is cropped too close or not. But i like the colors and that band of light behind the padlock.

I like this. Simple and well composed / cropped. I expect it to be even MORE effective in black and white.... wanna try? :-) Markjay

Thanks, It only appears that the lighting is behind the padlock :-)

Nice image, Richard. How did you do the lighting? More to the point, how did you light behind the padlock?
