I shot this a few months ago at Fort Morgan in Alabama. There were a ton of cool passageways and doors. I used my Nikon D3300, Tamron 16-300mm.
Shutter speed: 1/125 seconds.
Aperture: F/4.5.
ISO :200
Focal Length: 16mm
Edited in DXO Optics Pro, Google Nik Collection, and Photoshop CS6.
Let me know what you think!

Magical and well shot. Looks like a story waiting to be told here.

I like it, but feel some of the pp makes it look like a Disney fairy tale. If that's you goal, fine. If you wanted to just give a scene a gentler "pop," I would forget the vignetting, and not saturate so much--just a touch.

Thanks for the advice. I will try re-editing it.

Its a cool door. Must be to a root cellar. I think you put effort into enhancements that detract.

Take a pair of scissors and cut off the top 1." The sky makes it look like a stage prop showing what appears to be a wall immediately behind the "vegetation." Great story waiting to be told, now finish your job. IMHO

Interesting thought.
I like the sky being there as it gives indication that the door is in the side of a hill (mound). A bit of indication as to the location.
