 Convert from raw, selective colors, levels, B/C, sharpen, crop. In an outtake I used the gradient filter with diamond effect to put a light at the end of the tunnel. Didn't use that for fear of DQ. Also used a remote SB 800 flash.

Might get nailed by the nitpickers as not really a tunnel, but I have to appreciate the creative thinking here.
