here is a copy of my un-edited photo...I tried and tried to lighten the background but it got so very grainy and just didn't work and I don't like the edited version (below) that I came up with ... it is so very blown out...I would like to see what you guys would do with this...oh, and can you make sure and tell me what you did as I know you will do an awesome job with it...

Thanks

Here's a variation that's capturing more shadow detail courtesy of Topaz Detail. I'd love to work from the original on this, it's quite stunning.

I let the walls go black. I think it literally and figuratively adds depth by not knowing how deep the cave is.

Topaz Detail to bring out the details
Topaz Detail to mess with the tones

Cloned out a couple spots that didn't fade into the blackness

I think the photo itself is very beautifull, but I'm a sucker for desaturating photos. Making it sort of half black and white. I tried it, looked OK. Play with the saturation slider =) But still, very beautifull photo.
