My husband & I were riding through town in Greenville, SC, and the red door on this church caught my eye. I started to ask my husband to go back, but he was already pulling over to turn around - He knows me so well......

Thanks to all for the feedback...And Sean, I did shoot low to the ground - I did zoom in a little.
I worked on this image in PhotoImpact - I worked with the tones & added "light" - I really like this "light" tool in PhotoImpact - there is several different options you may choose... I tried not to over do it...
Thanks for the feedback.... #1566149
