The assortment of elements framing the front door work well with that door to create an elegant feel in the image. Once again I'm struck by the door handle which rather than being on the right side as I'm used to it is placed in the middle of the door... is this a European thing or a carryover from older times when the front door was more than just an entrance to a building or a house?

An attractive cameo here Diane. I think the center door handle thing found on the grander doors is possibly a hangover from old days when the really grand houses had a pair of doors at the front with the right door having a left placed handle and vice versa so the 2 handles were together in the center of the doorway. Of course, the doors of these grand houses were always opened from the inside by footman or butler - but you can't get the staff these days - sigh!
One more comment on the pic: In PS - Layer>duplicate layer>edit>transform>skew and pull the top right corner to the right to straighten then Layer>flatten layer. (But straighten the original before cropping because you'll lose a slice of the RH pilar.)
Vic.
