 Except for specifically burning the glass windows and the hanging light fixture, this entry could fall under basic editing. I played around with some hdr composites, but in the end just the single exposure looked the best. It is actually true to form - as if you were standing inside the building - including the dark shadows in the archway and the small ledges. HDR lit up those shadows, which is fine for showing extreme detail, but I decided to keep it real for this interior shot.

No saturation or other color adjustments were made. I only bumped the brightness up a little.

I cloned out what had to be a dustspot since I didn't notice the spot on the wall before. Other than that, I just added the border, cropped a tiny bit off of the right side and massaged it with a tad of USM. I used a tripod with mirror lockup to take the shot.
