Thanks for the comments.
Nifty, Bob - you are both right. Here's an updated shot I took yesterday with the door off-centre.

Mike,
I don't have a real problem with the crop as is, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to give Nifty's suggestion a try as there is a bit of tension (not necessarily a bad thing) between the centrally placed door and the asymmetrical presentation of the wall.

Only other thing (and this is a matter of personal preference) would be boosting the saturation and curves a bit. Seems a little flat, but I often go overboard in the other direction ;)

I really enjoy these kind of shots - old doors, windows, barns etc. Must be because they make me feel young.

Good one Mike. I like the combination of textures. I'd also be interested in seeing an off center crop with less on the left hand side of the door and at the top.
