Neighbourhood in 20mm

I have a feeling that you’re right about a head-on shot being the better composition for this scene. It would show the 3 doors in more of a comparative view, in a “same but different” way.
And for more symmetry, maybe forget the right-hand door, and just frame the other two with the windows on either side. They would then mirror each other and reveal their differences better.

By the way, what is the wide-angle lens and camera body combination?

i dont mind the angle. this time i found two details that made me curious:

  1. The strange hook next to the middle door seems to serve no purpose.
  2. The two doors on the left have no water damage as they are protected by means of the top cover. The door on the right has a problem and i would recommend a “traufkante” as it is called in German.
    I like the photos.

You mean the one close to the bottom? That’s for scraping off dirt from the shoes. It’s often found at older buildings here.

A last attempt, head-on. I don’t really like it. The perspective distortion is way too much. Unfortunately I can’t get further way without the fence getting into the view.

I quite like the head on shot. There is some perspective distortion that could probably be improved in darktable (or whatever software you use). It might be just me but I think that shot would be a great candidate for a high contrast B&W treatment.

I really like the last one, these are really pretty. The bird in the top of the shot is a very nice detail that makes the shot more interesting than just a normal picture of a house. I think shorter focal lengths are really neat (95% of the time I shoot with a 24mm prime) so it’s cool to see these.
