Looks like it could be a good subject, but the frame cuts the door too asymmetrically, i.e. more on the top than the side for no apparent reason. Also the sun angle, shadows in other words, detract from the any strength the contrast the door provides to the brick frame.

This is one of those subjects I'd offer the suggestion that you just desaturate the color on a few test shots (isn't digital great) and find the right compostion, and then see if the available colors add to the door. The wreaths do not add anything.

A lot of door/window/hall etc. shots are about shapes and shadows or about proportion and symmetry. Sometime these elements are incorporated by color.

Good luck!
