I've taken the liberty of reprocessing your entry with some levels and curves to get more of that element into it. What do you think?

Thank you - that is a beautiful improvement and closer to the quality of light I actually saw.

I like the use of negative space but the subject at the bottom do not really draw me to it. It needs something a bit more bold at the bottom IMO.
