 I added a highpass filter on a B&W layer for more detail,after using RAW noise reduction, and a curve layer for more contrast.

It's a little dark for me. It was hard for me to tell what it was at first. But, then I started thinking, I like how the light is playing off of the figurine. It's different. :)

I know where the author was going with this in particular with the large black background in trying to emulate dark mines and the effort of pushing a carrier, etc. I don't think it quite pulls it off though - maybe a little more lighting would have helped or softer highlights would have been better - I can't say for sure. However, the image matches the title so that's a plus. Could have used a little more thought in terms of composition.
