@ Noel,
It's looking good. Tidy in fact. Keep posting updates, I'd be interested to see when the bits surrounding it match the door itself for quality. That's probably only some minor texturing tweaks away too from the looks of it. Minor point, the handle might look even better if a little higher up, but that's not certain, could be worth a try to see. Maybe by half it's own diameter? Or something like that.
This is hard to explain, but we'll give it a shot. Regarding your surrounding wood work on the door and the window and the one bit out there on the left on it's own: If the front faces of all of those were not quite so far from the surface of the wall, then you could see the top edge of the door just a little easier from most angles, and this in turn would allow you to make the top edge of the door a little more even. This would help as it then heads a little more towards subtle, and that makes the bottom uneveness appear a little more pronounced, and that's how doors of that type tend to age in general, bottom goes first! As it stands the top is uneven by maybe a little too much, and I can see that it needs to be right now as the depth of tha woodwork hides it too effectively. I do hope that passes for making sense! ;O)
Having said that, the chunky look of that wood has it's attractions too! - Can't win at this can you!? ;O)
EDIT
Of course it's hard to know what to say when it's seen out of it's setting context. So I could be way off for reasons I can't possibly know about.
EDIT
"And it took me five years."
Don't be discouraged.
The first ten are the worst.
The second ten are a little easier, but hold "different" complications! ;O)
The five after that start to get kinda interesting.
