Tony,
I'm curious as to why the top of the door and a vertical crop are such show stoppers for you.
Whatcha got?

To me the shot seems "clipped" like the top of the photograph was cut off with a paper-cutter....an incomplete composition...like the lid is off and the contents are floating off the page. The door frame, if included, would provide a natural frame...a border that would lead my eye to 'beyond'... When I view a doorway I see it in it's entirety...it's just how I take it in.
The vertical orientation was only suggested as a way to include the top of the doorframe. I have no issue with a horizontal orientation-if it was shot wide enough to include the full doorframe.
More importantly-I dig the *feel* of these, the balance of tones and the exposure. All of *that* stuff is working really well, not just in this shot but in the others from the same (?) location. It was just this one particular shot the door frame (lack of) stood out to me...
