G'day May,

A very interesting old subject showing the wear and tear of its age, presented in a good vertical format and shot from a very good angle.
The lighting and exposure do just what you wanted here and I applaud your very good use of depth of field and selective focus. What is meant to be sharp is crisply sharp and the sudden gardient blurring forces the heads of the keys, (known to locksmiths as the bow of the key), to stand out well.
The colours seem quite natural and "brassy" and the tones and contrasts are soft and pleasing.

Well seen, well photographed and very creative.
