 Wanted to stay with the "Key" theme...so here we have it. Debated about submitting it due to the dust on my sensor - I'm pissed. Oh well.

Played around with this shot indoors with various lighting and couldn't make it look right. Went outside this morning at 6:00am and took the picture with sunlight reflecting off the side of my house. Ahh, much better lighting.

I like it. Will a key float in water or did you use another liquid?

Very interesting subject with realy nice composition, good low-key exposure and focus. I'd like to see it in B&W to compare.
