Under Lock and Key v2

Under Lock and Key v2
Taken with available window light. This is my jewelry box sitting on my bathroom window seat.

Originally entered last August for a PG101 Lock Theme. I adjusted the color and sharpened a bit from the first version, and am trying a different category - EOD.

And, here we go!

Michelle, what a superb capture this is of the beautiful design elements displayed in the tassel attached to the key in your jewellery box!! Great eye to spot this superb photographic opportunity, and the details, textures, lighting, tones, selective focus, point of view and composition here all are exceptional!! :o)

This does have interesting design elements, which would also make it a nice D&M entry.
