Boredom breeds brillance. Low key for sure. Well thought out and great execution.

You could always leave it up, if your certain it wont blow off.

I rarely retouch photos - not out of any philosophical objections but just plain laziness. After posting this shot, however, I eliminated the "sliver" of shiny metal near the head of the large door key, since it seems to distract from what is the focal point (NPI) of the image.

Then I'd best be careful - before I retired I remember my colleagues and subordinates mumbling something like, " that *$#@) blew his top at me again."

I think if the goal is to make this as low key as possible, the retouching was worthwhile.

Thanks - I do too; I have to admit, I didn't think of it until well after the first pic was posted.
