Tim, There have been two opinions on this shot. The first is shared by you and a number of others--too symmetric, too centered, etc. I agree that the center position of the door breaks the classic rules that address off-center subjects, placing points of interest at power points in the image, etc.
For me, this image works partly _because_ it breaks the rules. I find the symmetry arresting--it causes my eye to pause and rove over the details of the mosiac, the grain in the door, etc. I have some off-center compositions on disk and they don't capture my eye as well. --Mark Tim Øsleby wrote: >Big is better, yes.
