I like it at all but I wonder if it benefits from a tad more local contrast.

I like it just the way it is.

Splendid, Jeremy. Did you shoot it with a view camera that requires you to take off the lens cap and count in order to get the correct exposure?

Sadly, I don't have one. If I did, though, I'd use my iPhone to time the exposure  ;)

The door surround, timber header, and the stonework are definitely interesting as a tableau...but the new iron railing "front and center" is definitely a deal breaker.  I can't ignore that it is there...because...it is there. For me the picture is a no-go from the outset...because of that.

That would be easily fixable (if Jeremy wanted to) via Photoshop's content-aware tools.

And only 20 months later, prompted by the fact that the lady in the wedding dress is visiting this weekend, I've done it! I don't think "easily" quite covers it, but I like to think I'm getting a little better at doing stuff like this, and practice doesn't hurt.

First thing I saw today was the top image, and thought "nice!".
It's still my favorite. Sorry, Jeremy!

I really like the first one just fine. It's nicely processed and it causes me to do a double take. The planar variations--from repetitive brick wall, to intricate door, to the the simple "X" frame show interplay between surfaces. And not having a person peering through the door leaves a lot more to the imagination. In my opinion, your first version nails it.
