I will play. Here is a photo I took while visiting the move set of "Big Fish" near Montgomery, Alabama on November 27, 2020. I remember thinking I wanted the sign, trees, and shoes in focus and a kind of a dreamy overexposed look to the church in the background. I think I should have used F5.6 with my 35mm F2, but this was a vacation photo and this is what I had on the camera at the time.

The shot was take with a Canon Rebel T6 in Aperture Priority mode. The Lens was the standard Cannon Kit Lens: EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II. Shot settings were F/8 at 1/125 sec and an ISO set to 100.

I removed a tourist that I could not outwait from the picture in post. I also think I aligned the picture by one degree to the left.

Oh, good! I'm a little unclear on the particulars of how to run a photo challenge on this 'site so I'm kind flying by the seat of my pants. Or... At least I would be if I were wearing any...

Wait... What?

I like the colors in this one. The reflection in the top window is nice as well.

TMI!

It's your contest. Run it as you please. Actually a few reminders are always helpful.

Reminder Bump! This contest runs until the 19th of the month.

Not quite a doorway, but I think it counts as a window connecting two worlds.

Good catch! I had to go back in order to notice the reflection...
