in a country town today I was taking a picture of this doorway
(it's not a church doorway) when the man happened to walk right in

Almost sort of a Cartier-Bresson thing going on here.

Thanks for stopping in and having a look.

Great shot, Post it in B&W and it would really be a Cartier-Bresson shot "the precise moment" to paraphrase Bresson. :lol: :lol: very very nice

Very interesting. I especially like how nothing interferes with the focal point. I want to see it in B&W also.

A very unusual entrance. Gothic but not a church. (What is it?) Looks like a pocket door with a hinged door right behnd it. A step right behind the pocket door. (Lots of building code issues here.) It was fortunate that the man came by to show us.

Enough with the details (fallout from my profession). It's a wonderful photograph. You were once again able to capture the magical moment. If the man had been coming out instead of going in it would have been an entirely different image - not as thought provoking as this one.

Youve got an eye, Marie. From pink jeeps to old men, you know a moment worth saving.

Great candid. It has a fun timeless appeal to it.

Very nice photograph. I'm just curious about the fogginess over the image. Is it actual fog/mist?

I don't know what exactly the building is used for
looks something like a parish hall to me
I never got a chance to ask but will... next time I am there.
I was across the street and waiting for traffic to pass when he walked in

HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'text/html'

was I praying .....oh please let the **^ car go past quick

HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'text/html'

so as I could capture him going in

I was only a few seconds there altogether
I wanted to get a shot of the whole building also so took the two girls passing
...just in case anyone asked

(DUPLICATE IMAGE)

what was the building like

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

the shot is not as effective as the door on it's own

the top left hand window seems to be turning the corner ever so slightly
and is blurry too

I was a bit annoyed with that too blur
it's what I kept seeing when I was posting the picture

as it was late at night I just turned off the computer and went to bed,
hoping the fog would go away :lol:

I think it may be that as I was aiming for the man to be clear I got that part a bit sharper then the rest of the door.
:confused:
then again maybe the paint on the door is foggy looking in reality
I don't know for sure.

I tried b/w the night I done it but I prefer the slight tinge of colour in it
