Really need some CC and tips for cleaning this one up a bit--I'd like to print it at some point. Is the less-than-uniform lighting a real problem? I kind of like how it turned out. That spot I missed on the upper-left, I'll clone it out later :D

Taken with a 7d, 15-85mm, and 580ex (don't laugh at the lens choice, it performed REALLY well in low-light... it did better than my 50mm 1.4 and tam 17-50)

I've taken lots of cave shots and this one looks good to me. Lighting is never uniform, and that's as it should be. The shadows are part of the scene and convey the mood of the cave.

I think it's a great shot. Maybe you could crop a little tighter on the left side - that way there would be less area to clone.

Thanks for sharing.


All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.
