Helpful Posts: There is one street in the Old part of town in Funchal where this sort of door art seems to have become a feature. Thought it might be suitable for a montage. Comments welcome.

Re: Funchal Doors
I'd love to see these doors in real life. Nicely caught!

Re: Funchal Doors
I love painted doors. These one of yours are very colourful. Yep! Good idea for a montage.

Re: Funchal Doors
Very nice John,
The colours really pop, do you think the montage would be stronger if all of the openings head stones and ashlar were level and square and perhaps at the same height in each image?
I appreciate that nothing is truly square in structures of this age... food for thought!

Re: Funchal Doors
Apologies for my tardiness in replying but my computer is playing up again. There seems to be cyclic fault that used to only affect the ports but it is now spreading its wings. I have come to the conclusion that the problem is the motherboard (having reloaded the OS and eliminated memory/HDs etc) and I am going to have to bite the bullet and go for a rebuild.
Enough of my problems. Thanks all for the feedback. Didn't do much photography in Madeira but saw these as we were walking around on the first day. You're right Rob but the image was more for general interest than anything. The size of the doors was more to do with what I needed to crop out for simplicity's sake rather than any aesthetic merit - or maybe just because I'm a lazy SOB.

Funchal Doors
John those doors on the Rua Santa Maria were part of art competition around 2012/13 I would have to look at my image archive to be more accurate but I'm away from home currently. Originally each piece of art (door) had a plaque mounted alongside giving the artists details and the title of the piece.
I'm not sure but I may have posted a montage on here of some of these doors. We do have the montage printed and framed at home. So your thoughts on them being suitable as a montage is spot on IMO.
The subject of door at the bottom right of your montage is a restaurant at the end of the Rua Santa Maria which we've eaten in when we have visited the Island.

Re: Funchal Doors
Thank you Peter. That answers a question because we did wonder why the artwork was confined to just the one street.
