 This is a picture of a very old key (circa 550 AD).

I took the picture through a display case in the British Museum. Editing consisted of cropping, change in brightness and contrast, blurrying of the background (it was mounted on some horrible hessian type material), making the background red, omitting the pins holding the key to said hessian display, and a general tidy, finished off with a mild border.

Simple and too the point. I think you have locked this one up (bad pun!)

not sure if it is the key itself, but this looks pretty soft in the focus...composition is nice and the color contrast is good

Perhaps if the background could be blurry, or not have a strong 'key' shadow on it, it would be stronger. Perhaps this is oversharpened a bit. Something seems awry.
