Hi
Who knows what goes on behind closed doors? Well, I hope you do because this weekend's challenge is to open the doors in the image below and show us what is inside. If you look closely, you will see there are three doors and you are free to open one, two or all three.
As always, anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.
There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
For those who strive for realistic composites, this is an opportunity to practice with perspective and shadows.
When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side. This is to stop the thread slowing down when lots of images are added.
To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).
Enjoy !
Dave

What came to mind was a 1956 novelty hit "Green Door" by Jim Lowe. It's about a private lounge that he can't get into.
"Knocked once, tried to tell them I've been there. Door slams, hospitality's thin there. Green Door, what's that secret you're keeping?"
You can search out the full song on Youtube. It's kind of early here, so with the help of clipping masks, blending modes,and fill layers, I kept it simple just to get it done. I hopefully got to just that one green door with the small port. Olden prohibition days a small door would slide open and the "password" was given to get inside.
Well someone had to do it. 
Wobert I think your hound might be right out of a Sherlock Holmes mystery, and missing one of its heads.
Talking of heads...
I decided to play around with a bit of grunge. Just for fun I added a chicken looking out the door. LOL.
Hi
Well this bodes well for the weekend - lots of entries so far!
Trevor - A regression image and a secret society. I like that you have made an appropriate change to the symbol above the door. We can start a Dan Brown novel on the symbology. One thing on the regression image though - should the lines of studs near the top of the doors (above the vanishing point not angle downwards toward the VP? I only mention this as I know you like to get perspective spot on. 
Ged- as surreal as we have come to expect. I agree with Gene it would make a good album cover.
Jacob - something spooky going on behind that door. I'll stay on the outside !
WobertC - Welcome to SFTW. That's a nice idea and nicely executed I hope we see more of you in these threads.
Silkrooster - It would indeed benefit from a frame. Is the chicken involved in some ritual from Trevor or Jacob's images?
Graham - Now we know what building the doors are from, of course we cannot open them and show the proceedings. That would be illegal 
Great ideas . Anyone stumbling across this thread - come and join in.

Something simple to start from me:)
Here is something prettier behind the door. Hall of Mirrors, palace of Versailles.
Waiting Patiently . . . .
Oh, I see WobertC beat me to posting image of dog at the door.
Good job everyone!
Fun to turn on Photoshop once in a blue moon.
