I'll add my vote to those who recommend getting rid of the bannister altogether. As Chris pointed out, architectural elements that aren't painted absolutely accurately (even if in a painterly way) will distract from anything else that may be right with a painting. And the position of it makes it look like it's growing out of his shoulder now.
