I'm not sure what I'm looking at here, but its a bit hard to view. The harsh highlights at the end, as well as there at the bottom right make for very distracting elements.

the center is blown out which detracts, and the inside of the tunnel is too blurred

the title really helps this image out. The issues I see are around any clear lack of sharp focus. I think we are suppose to focus on the entry way, but it is too blown out. Using tonemapping such as in Photomatix Pro could really help this one out.

Something like this might work a little better...Tonemapped your image after adjusting the histogram to bring out the detail in the light.
