Challenge: "A Door Tie": How might you bring out further expression in this image?

I'm not sure what to call this but it is a length of string that would hold open a window (or door) in a traditional Korean house.
All comments welcome.

Very nice. Elegant and spare. A nice contrast of textures; smooth and rough. Nice use of the shadows to provide transition between light and dark.

Thanks for sharing

I really like this. Impressed! The right white vertical strip of super-bright (and beyond that), could be pulled down a little. Also I'd consider careful selection of the rope and sharpening.

Thank you both for commenting. It's good to see my photographs through other people's eyes.
Asher, you're right about the strip of white that needs to be darkened a bit. The slightly soft rope might be a result of my cheap scanner.
