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?

Thanks to both! The lighting is supposed to be: daylight from the
rear-right, and a torch or lantern and the interior.

Thanks. I just found a way to speed it up a lot: meshrelief.inc by
Bill Pragnell:
http://www.infradead.org/~wmp/macro_meshrelief.html
Just another thing I somehow missed until today.

And a lot of fun for me, no doubt... :)

The crystals where thrown at random, and should have keep them out at
this moment of the development, but could not resist.

Yes, specially stalagmites should be more round and irregular.

Maybe... sounds nice, but don't know if the effect would be really
recognizable.

That would be way too typical, I guess... but who knows what I will
find there? :)

That site is pretty impressive.
Awesome stone here (but I don't like the girl)

Nothing really new in a visual sense, but this image uses now meshes
instead isosurfaces, thanks to meshrelief.inc by Bill Pragnell. Maybe
the detail is not as great, but is very similar and the render time has
dropped insanely (this one has bigger size, more objects, focal blur,
and it renders just under half an hour). Maybe now I will be able to add
translucency and some wet-surfaces effect.
(Yes, I know I overdid the focal blur and it looks like a toy cave... :)
