July: Doors & Windows

Snapshooters, amateurs, photo enthusiasts, and professionals are encouraged to submit their best images for the July 2011 DPA Assignment dedicated to doors and windows! Doors and windows are portals for looking into or outside of the world. They can block out the cold or let in the rain. Capture the details of a wooden door, a doorknob with character, or the sun pooling through an open window. Show us those arches while experimenting with light and shadow. This month's assignment is themed: Doors & Windows!
