Creative Effects Challenge No. 129 - RAW Let's Go Inside

Members submitting an image for this challenge are asked to offer a brief statement as to why they chose their image.
Participants in the challenge have the option of presenting an edit with the photographer’s reasons in mind
or instead presenting an image that reflects their own creative vision.

The member submitting this image noticed that all of our RAW challenges were taken outside and mostly landscapes.  So the thought for this challenge was to try our hand at an image that was taken inside under challenging lighting conditions.
The photographer's intent was to capture some of the grandeur of this old building.  Impressed by the creative edits that were applied in past challenges this member is convinced that our participants in the challenge can transform this attempt to create
an image that reflects the building's interior beauty.
  
1. Participants in the challenge are asked to provide a screenshot of their edits within the RAW converter of their choice
along with the reasons for their edits.

2. Following their initial edits members may use whatever “tools" they wish to create an image that portrays their artistic vision for the image
as long as the character of the original image is not lost.

3. Including information on plug-ins, actions, external editors, textures, sky replacements etc that were used will only help to inform members
of some of the creative options that are available to today’s photographer.

4. Including layer stacks may be something to consider when presenting a final edit.

You have two weeks to participate in this challenge. It ends on Saturday, August 22.
At the end of the challenge the image creator will select their three favorite edits.

Comments are restricted to complimenting another member's edit.

I see this as our most challenging image to date.  Looking forward to seeing how you decide to work with this image.
