Left side too harsh. Interesting location though. Crop the bright next time.

I have found that shooting photos in caves to be difficult. This photo illustrates part of the reasons why. Using a flash in this environment, you run the risk of overexposure. Sometimes it's hard knowing if you are looking upwards or at a wall.

The area to the left is too blown out with the on camera flash. Invest in some type of on camera diffuser.

This photo doesn't do it for me. Overexposed wall on the left (flash?), low contrast on the rocks. Composition is OK and had a lot of potential...

The overbrightness draws the eye away from the beautiful colours and patterns beyond.

for me, this would be much improved without the noticible flash. Having taken pictures in caves, I know how difficult it can be. A good attempt.

Not exactly low key, but I will say that this would be much better with that flash glare on the left cropped out. I'm happy with the square crop on some of my pictures. This might be slightly improved that way.
