Hi Michael, Great colors and interesting subject matter. I might crop the bright area off the left which pulls my eye in that direction. This will also bring the pathway and opening out of the center. Good use of HDR!

That is some intricate caverns, it feels a little too contrasty, I'm wondering why would you need Noise Ninja in a ISO 640 HDR????

Hey Michael,
this is a tough one....because it doesn't appear you had much/any light. Is the brighter area on the left spotlit or lit by you? Since the left is soft ....probably because of DOF and brightest......I'd go with Dave's recommended crop. I'm not sure what the object is on the right FG area......looks like plywood....definitely seems out of place. Having never been there I don't know what other difficulties you had but it looks like an interesting place.

Very striking capture and l like the DOF in this image that takes your eye right through to the back of the image. Thanks for sharing Michael.
