I took this one a couple of years ago. Two exposures (15 and 60 sec) combined in PS. I know the composition could be better (need to tilt the camera up). Other than that, any suggestions are welcome.
The photo is optimized for sRGB-calibrated viewing.

Man, I'll never complain about the lighting conditions above ground again - this looks tough! This is interesting subject matter, but I'm honestly struggling to connect with the image. The small area of soft lighting is strong, but the very dark and very bright areas that comsume most of the real estate make it a tough image to explore.
This would change the mood of the image, but if it were mine I'd work on brightening up the main formation to bring out some of the detail.

Thank you Rick. I was hoping someone would make that comment. That way I have a reason to go reshoot it this X-mas. The difference between the two exposures was only 2 stops, but it should have been more. Thanks again.
