Great shot, but in my opinion, it's a bit dark. I'm sure it's just a matter of processing.

Thank you for the comment! I agree with you that it could have been made brighter, but I was afraid of overexposing the core. I'll try carefully stretching the histogram a bit more later using curves or GHS.
