    yet another revolutionary-era door

    Here's another try with another door on the same building as the door I posted a little while ago.

    This one is Nik-free. In fact, it's very simply edited:

    1. Cropping, texture, and tiny bit of clarity in LR
    2. Dodging, burning, a curve for midtone contrast, and smart sharpen in PS

    I like this one a lot more, Dan. The beauty and grace of the wood comes through cleanly, without looking forced by heavy-handed PP work.

    Looks good Dan. Interesting to note the hand forged nail heads.

    Thanks, all. Len, I agree. I plan to go back there and try some much closer shots with a macro lens to focus on the ironwork.

    Fine shot - love the detail.
    Interesting also to see how the rail is fitted to the stile - four (presumably drawbored) pins in a through tenon - the fourth pin is obscured by the handle, but the other three are visible and because two are quite near the outer edge of the stile we can deduce that it is a through tenon. Though it seems a little odd to put drawbored pins so close to the edge.
    In modern joinery the tenon would more commonly be wedged rather than pinned.
