This was taken down near my great grandparents house. It is the outside to a boat-building shack. This photo serves its purpose well, despite the straight angles and centered weighting. The vibrancy of the colors brings out specific details and gives it good composition. The colors give the photo a slight eerie feeling, however the contrast is what gives the photo its spark.

There is very little negative space in the photo which gives a viewer much to look at. The white in the door contrasts well with the black towards the bottom. My favorite attribute to the image would be the slight splash of blue near the upper part of the door. The awkward paint splotches covering the door and its panels (along with the upside down fish) blatantly show that this shack is much older than I could even guess at. Its age and condition help the photo to become more intriguing - something a plain, new door couldn't achieve.
