Of course it all depends upon what you want from it. In most such shots, the subject is maybe 5-10% of the image, the composition 5-10% and the rest is the light - 80-90%. That's why poor light is a scene killer.
In post processing you can improve an image and made it closer to what you saw in your mind's eye or to what you feel it *ought* to be. It can take quite a few changes if what ought to be is very different from what the camera was programmed to record.
For an image with difficult color you don't like, I'd start in PS by adding a curves layer and using one of the droppers to fish for a good correction spot. In this case the gray dropper picking places on the stone wal would be a reasonable choice. After you've improved the color with the curves layer, you can apply other methods to try to alter consequences of the very flat light:...Show more →
Great bit of teaching here AuntiPode, appreciate it. I just don't use PS as much as I should and this is a great example of why I should. Do most of the heavy lifting in LR.
