You do realise that entire photo books have been dedicated to doors. Seems to be an entire photographic genre all of its own.Emergency exit, a boring subject?

Yes I know, however with those books the appreciation is often more with "who made the photos" rather than "what can we see on the photos"You do realise that entire photo books have been dedicated to doors. Seems to be an entire photographic genre all of its own.
So no, apparently not boring.
Ah yes, indeed. It reminds me of the doting parents praising their child for the terrible drawing of a house they made, while grimacing at the drawings the other children have made. I use it as a good-mannered "put down" on some well known photographers.Yes I know, however with those books the appreciation is often more with "who made the photos" rather than "what can we see on the photos"
Mono is fine of course, but colour can also have its place where the colour palette is limited, as in your pic, adding to that minimalist effect again (as I mentioned with Pieter's pic). Maybe a little more editing work would bring that out more?
The really boring (cliché) thing to do would be to have one half-filledAnother try.

What makes this topic so difficult is that, for a photo to be worthy, it has have been taken without boring intent. Sure, I can take a shot of my shoe, but that doesn't qualify here because it never had a chance to be anything but boring. In contrast, I think a lot of us have taken many shots (like my first vines example) that seemed like a good idea at the time, but which turned out to be uninteresting - even to us, We tend to delete those so they can be hard to raise up when we want them for a weird thread.
if I apply the logic I use in my previous post, only you know if it is boring. If it demonstrates some knowledge or skill that is an advance over what you previously had, then it is interesting for that reason - your artistic evolution interests anyone who is also trying to evolve. If it is similar to everything else you do, then it is in your style and it becomes a subjective question of whether that is interesting. So, is this boring?
Thanks for your post! After processing the color image to monochrome a few other ways, I decided that the version I posted here was actually my favorite. I did create a few that were boring to me, so I am printing this image now on the Red River Aurora Art White fine art matte paper for the print exchange.
