Annie,
The soft blue of the door is eye catching in that 129 year old building with is pillared stone door frame. I get the impression the door is not the original as there is a gap at the top though the colour of the weathered paint work may well be the same colour as the door it replaced. The pink Bougainvillea growing beside the door is both beautiful & eye catching along with it's vine growing up the wall & trailing over the doorway. I'm sure there are many stories to tell of the families who have lived there over the 129 years of it's existence. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

This is very different image from you Annie in fact a very different image no matter who it was from!
The editing makes the difference as well gives that old time feel and look about it and makes the blues more muted which works with in this image, even those pink flowers with the greens on the right are not too over powering some may disagree but for me it works! Good luck with the contest!

Pretty shot here!
Love the bright blue door.
I like the frame of green and the pink flower details. Colors are vivid but still natural looking. Creative shot of a simple subject. Well done!

This is a beautiful blue door with lots of character to it. I'm glad they kept it blue over the years. Your photo has good lighting and details and I like the way the doorway is framed by the pretty vines and flowers. Nice work! Best wishes in the contest!

An interesting shot. Good observation. Excellent capture and presentation. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

A nice classic color image. Speaks to me of standing the test of time. Very nice capture. Good clear image and the door itself is framed beautifully with the floral. Good job.

This is a beautiful look at this door that is old and weathered but still beautiful with a vibrant blue color! I love the pink flowers above it and next to it. Great entry for the contest! Best of luck!

I find this image inviting and interesting. A very nice contest entry for the color blue. I like the textures and colors.
Maybe a door to a secret garden. A door I would open to view what's behind it.
A nice take on the contest. A nice contender.

I agree, the door despite having been painted a few times ,has still maintained its antiquity through the stressed wood that is still visible at a closer glance from the viewer.
