At a first glance, the white in the photo seems too strong to me. Perhaps the photo is lacking enough contrast in the left half? Also, I think a tighter crop might help - the blackness / shadows at the edges seem distracting. Since this is only a piece of the ornamentation, I assume, you could try cropping down and putting the door knocker along the upper line of thirds. It doesn't quite work for me when it's located straight in the middle.

I'm not sure about post-processing, but it would be nice to tone down some of the whiteness. If you've got enough pixels, maybe a really long horizontal crop along the face might bring out some interesting details in the face.
