Yes, I like it now more than before, too.

Just - the large crystal in the left foreground is somehow lost and not
fitting (all others are). And another observation: all stalactites and
-mites have too much the same triangular shape. When I was in caves, I
observed some which were like irregular columns, not so triangular. And
they had very wet, smooth surfaces, glossy because of the wetness, and
also levels of different colors because at different times different
minerals were in the water that run down on them.

Maybe, instead of the crystal, a little water pit..?

I try to imagine, the illumination at the background is caused by some
cave entrance on its right side and catches the late afternoon sun
(golden). Seeing light rays coming from the right side in the dusty cave
air would improve that imagination. I like the idea, to be in the darker
area and see the illuminated area in the distance, just the way you are
doing it now. :-)


Hmmm, what about a few fluorescent tiny insects or worms, seen just as
dim greenish-yellow light  dots in the darker areas?   :-D

Or somewhere a part of a hidden treasure chest (not leveled but a bit
diagonal in its positioning), open and full of gold coins of which some
came out and lay on the ground around it?
