the lock

lock to hutches door

I like the composition, the lines and the textures, but IMHO, there should be more detail on the wall on the left.

composition looks great to me just the way it is. rule of thirds, yet nothing is tooooo centered. left is texured, "middle" (right) is painted, and augmented in interest by the lock, and far right is clean soft white. Tack sharp focus is perfect as well. Nice shot (was it as nice in color?)

The composition seems off. For one thing its too evenly divided by that central line. Its not dead centered but its close. The other thing is while the right half has something to hold your interest with the lock (which has lovely tonality by the way), the left hand side doesn't have anything. I know all about negative space in composition but in this case it doesn't gel. If you cropped it to a square format removing most (but not all) of the empty left hand side, I think it would be a much more effective composition.
