Thursday Doors – May 25, 2016
Walking along Toronto’s Bloor Street West, I came across these wonderful doors. The Munk Institute is part of the University of Toronto campus and I’ve admired them often, as I walked past. Today the light was just right. Much to my surprise, I had never noticed the details in the stonework above the door and topping the pillars. Have a closer look.
Interestingly, many of the compositional elements that enhance this image are subconscious when I make the photo. It’s one of those scenes that appeal to me, but I can’t articulate the ‘why’ till I look closely at the final image.
Nikon D800

Brilliant doors, Ed. I enjoyed the crisp details.
I’m really enjoying these door images and recently upgraded cameras. Taking it up several notches 😀
You were already up notches. 😍😍 This is stratospheric. Have fun. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! One of the joys of photography is looking back at the images and realizing just how much our eyes miss when observing a scene. I never even noticed the gargoyles on the columns.
It happens to me all the time. I love the stealth gargoyles. It speaks to the intention of the design, perhaps.
Beautiful in every detail, Ed, and those reflections in the windows work well, too.

Thanks Janet. The light was awesome and the reflections just worked out that way from my shooting angle.
That is a wonderful shot Ed – definitely frame-worthy.
Thanks Norm. I had awesome light that day.
Beautiful. Incredible artistry. Really well captured, too. 🙂
Thanks Joey!
Uuuu, wow! Spectacular!
Thank you.
Swooning over these doors….
Thank you, they are beautiful.
There is so much detail in this photo. The children’s faces alongside the gargoyles are very intriguing.
Thanks, I noticed that too.
