You sure are Tina!
I downloaded and played a bit with the file - luminance of the blue color might be reduced -40 to -50
The ceiling of the vault above the window might gain using the graduated tool and decreasing the highlights.
I'd stop there as the metallic look/texture/feel/shine is now gone.
In any case, it is a very fine photo that I'd love to have taken myself.
Keep the good work coming
Amities
