You could probably safely crop 1-1.5 inches from the bottom (to just above the rock fin on the left) in order to keep more attention on the colorful areas.
I can see what John is saying, but I like the flow of the chasm to the bottom. It's different from the norm...I like the deep reds. Maybe if you lighten (if possible) the bottom dark area part it would come out more.

I really appreciate the comments :)
Although I really hesitate from changing the image too much as I personally thought it ran the gamut of lights and darks.
Perhaps its my monitor, but it appears on my screen that where there is light.. there is no need to squint to make out details.... Is this to dark for everyone else?
In any case thanks for your thoughts John and Cynthia!!! :)

It almost seems like two separate images -- light and flowing on top (typical shot) and darker and more chaotic on the bottom. I'm just wondering if it would be more effective as two distinct images? My eye gets sensory overload and can't figure out where to look first!
That said, I really like the bottom half - it reminds me of some of Bruce Barnbaum's black and white images of slot canyons. He was one of the first to photograph them, and in my mind by far the best.
