I adjusted your image to reduce the distracting background, enrich the color and contrast, and redefine the elegance you seek here. I basically played with curves and saturation. I just sent you a bit lighter version if you want more dimensionality. I opened the shadows a bit with the shadow highlight control.

Wow! The mood has changed and the steel has a texture lost in my version. Was the main post processing here reduction in brightness and an increase contrast? It is clear that whatever you did has brought through the key element of elegence in this picture, namely the hands, and seperated it from the background. In my version the background distracts. In this one the hands and fingers dominate. thank you for another key lesson Phil.
