This base of a former watertower in the woods has attracted me for several tries with different films and formats. This one is on 4x5 TriX with 90mm lens at only 9 ft distance. Depth of field suffers but I wanted to get a feeling of being inside the structure, if possible. On an overcast day I added a battery flash to liven up the nearest parts a little, dodging the plants at the bottom some too on the print.

Dave, I love interiors of old buildings such as the one you posted. Since you have it in PhotoShop already, you could try making the interior a little lighter, and burn down the hot highlights to balance. Then see if you like the revised tonal relationships. I had a somewhat similar indoor image, and an exhibit curator I trust suggested I do the same thing, which in the darkroom was a painful exercise (specifically burning the highlights without leaving a halo or dark ring) but the end improvement was worth it in my case.
