5D + 17-40 handheld @ 17mm, f/4, 1/10, ISO1600, no PP besides RAW conversion/resize and a little noise reduction in LR.

I'm not happy with the color and feel like this could be a much better photo with the right PP, I'm just clueless with PS CS3. Any suggestions?

I like it. Very cool angles and the tilt works here. I'm not sure about the white balance though. And the dark area in the foreground could be lightened just a bit. And maybe brighten the "end of the tunnel" a bit. Nice shot.

it looks great really. i dont think you should do TOO much with it as it already has great appeal. if you do decided to mess with the colors i would just put a slight blue tint to it to add a more horror feel to it but im a dark person. to me, its good where it is. id mess with the contrast a bit too to add some punch to it, although if you drop the contrast a lot it can have a nice effect with a photo like this one.

I suspect the WB is off.

I also like the shot a great deal but the color looks off to me as well. I'm not positive this is actually a white balance issue specifically though because to me that light on the ceiling there almost looks a little greenish. Almost looks like this was done in processing. Either way, I think this is a great shot but I would go back and work on the color some more.

Just my $.02,
