Very nice Mick, I love the image scale you've got there !!!
The keyhole looks quit distinctive.
Was this a single shot? How long was the exposure?

The full version must have some awesome detail in it.
It's always a good idea to shoot in RAW, process in 16 bit tiff and do the final conversion for the web at the end.
Also set your camera to Adobe RGB 1998 colour space instead of RGBs since it gives a larger colour space to work with.

Good work.
