Thanks!
It's dark because I'm trying to give the feeling that the only light source
in this very dark/ancient dungeon is the small hole poked into the cieling.
 Eventually it will be printed as a poster and I wanted the top of the rock
walls to be almost invisible... I may crank up the light or follow your
photoshop suggestion after the first test print...

Thanks for the comments!
